Flaky Apple Turnovers for Tuesdays With Dorie

15 Sep

IMG_1967 This is definitely a recipe for “Do-Overs!” Vacations that are too short, chocolate that is eaten before you are satiated. Concert performances that include all the hits you wanted to hear, but could I just hear that one song, once more?  The sappy romantic comedies that you watch repeatedly. If that’s not enough, you go out and buy them on DVD so that on that Friday night when you’re all alone you can just “be.” A wonderful pair of shoes that you wish you had a spare pair in your closet. Or a favorite pair of earrings lost that you wish you could replace. Those are the kind of Do-Overs these sweet little pastries fall into. Somehow, I imagine Dorie magically forgot where she got this recipe because it is really a secret recipe and she is sharing it with the world, shhhhh secretly.  Wouldn’t that be enchanting?

The first “Do-Over” will be tomorrow night when the “Treat-Tasters’s Group will be here for  hamburger’s, guacamole & home made salsa.  They don’t know it but they are going to have these little turnovers as well.  I think the small hand size will make a very nice finish with the burgers.  All American Apple and Chocolate.  We may even churn some of Dorie’s ice creams to go with it.  You think?

I have a choice here…..either my poorly iphone photos or to patiently await the teenage photo protege  he he.  Truth is, I am totally helpless with photoshop and his computer.  He works behind a curtain, much like the Great Oz.  No matter the request, he calmly replies “Mom, I don’t mind taking your pictutes.  I like doing it.”  So, I wait.  As my little turnovers do the same.  See you later, if you would like to stop by and see the “Treat-Taster’s” too.  Just added a photo for you….and more tomorrow night after dinner.  Stop back by if you like.

You know these Tuesdays with Dorie recipes are from her fabulous and beautiful book Baking From My Home to Yours. The wonderful baker in Tuesdays with Dorie baking group who chose this delicious treat full of possibilities is Julie of Someone’s in the Kitchen so you may have the recipe from her or the pages of Dorie Greenspan’s continuing quest to share her passions for food through the pages of Baking From My Home to Yours.

I look forward to reading and chatting…. hope to see your turnovers soon.  hehe

    Anxious to see those…

    P.s.: I’m pretty sure I had never seen that picture of yours on the right side (if I’m right, it must be recent), I have to admit it is pretty cool, very quirky …makes people what to know you! LOL

    LOL on the Great Oz….I have one of those teens as well. These were perfect little bites, weren’t they? I think they should be done over and over and over again. Big hit here. Loved reading this post, so creative and fun. Twitter when pics are in and I will stop by again to see them.

    I used to edit all of my photos with photoshop at work (shhh, don’t tell my former boss). But since I moved back to NY, I don’t have it anymore. So I have to rely on iPhoto. Sigh. Can’t wait to see the pictures and your guests have a great treat in store!

    Well I wanted to see photos but I can wait. :) Come on over to my blog and see the eye candy I left for you. You already know my pies are a mess. Wasn’t it just so so sad about Patrick Swayze. I’ve already watched that utube scene of his dance with baby. Teary eyed me.

    Ooh, the turnovers look great with that big sprinkling of sugar. These are a definite do-over, so delicious! You’re lucky to have a son that knows photoshop; I need to teach myself to use it.

    Your turnovers look great! Yeah, I definitely think I’ll be making these over, and over, and over again. =)

    They look great! I’m sure I’ll make these again—soon!

    Apples and chocolate sound GREAT! I thought next time I’d make wee cookies with the dough – cut out a little circle, sprinkle them with cinnamon, sugar, and chocolate, and voila. Regardless of what you put in these, they are perfect with a nice cup of tea. :)
