Homemade Apple Turnovers Recipe

With so many fabulous Indiana apples waiting to be used, I had to try this Homemade Apple Turnovers Recipe!

My neighbor gifted me with a very large bag of apples. Fortunately, I gave this yummy apple dessert recipe a try! My husband and our boys absolutely love it.

The crust is a fair bit of work, basically because you have to stop and chill it each time, but it does result in a lovely Autumn dessert!
