Apple seaÂson is upon us and there is nothÂing betÂter than headÂing out to a local orchard and comÂing home with a bushel of fresh, deliÂcious apples. Sometimes, though, it can be hard to come up with new and unique ways to utiÂlize your newÂfound bounty. There are only so many apple pies, and batches of apple sauce/apple butÂter you can make before you start to crave new and difÂferÂent apple treats.
These apple and date turnovers defÂiÂnitely fit the bill. With a deliÂcious pepÂperÂiÂness from the olive oil butÂterÂscotch, and a deep, rusÂtic sweetÂness from the dates, these turnovers make a perÂfect breakÂfast treat with your mornÂing cofÂfee or tea. I like to make a big batch at the beginÂning of the week and enjoy them for the next few days, if they last that long. These are a favorite around my house and they go fast!
Try douÂbling the recipe and freezÂing half of the turnovers instead of bakÂing them. You can bake them from frozen and they come out perÂfectly, just allow another 5 – 10 minÂutes to make sure the fillÂing is comÂpletely heated!
