These are also good with a handful of raisins or dried cranberries or craisins or chopped prunes or chopped walnuts; and you can substitute pears or do half pears and half apples; and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar if you don’t want to use icing. I have also made these leaving out the cinnamon and they were still good. You can also add a bit of nutmeg. But they are really easy to make and so enjoyable!

Can you make these turnovers with Splenda instead of sugar?

I have a few family members that cannot eat the cinnamon so I have had to make many baked items without adding cinnamon. Personally – I love cinnamon – but I am not cooking for just myself. Many times I make it both ways – then everyone can enjoy it!

I “can” apples, – so I know what’s in the apple. Can you start with canned (preserved apples?

I worked at Arby’s from 1997-1999, and our turnovers came frozen and the icing was already prepared.

i currently am employeed at arbys and have been for 6 years…i would just like to say that if you’re gonna “copy” the turnover, make sure that as part of the recipe you include raisins

and random comment on the icing…i find that when at home i make my own icing put a little bit of butter in the icing…makes it REALLY good

Those were so good my family can’t eat enough of them. Had to make them 3 times this week. Used real apples just like it said. My iceing was powder and water. Real good and didn’t change anything in the receipe except used delicous apples. Going to make more today. Love the sheets of petridge farm. Will try to make a pie today out of the sheets.

Thank you so much
