  • 1
    In 2-quart saucepan, mix apples, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of the water and the lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    When it comes to pies and pastries, not all apples are created equal! Choose the variety that best suits your taste buds. Tart apples, such as Granny Smith or McIntosh, will make very flavorful pies. Braeburn or Gala apples will provide good texture and a slightly sweeter flavor.
  • tip 2
    A turnover is a type of pastry recipe made by filling a piece of dough, folding the dough over, sealing it and baking it. For more ways to make pie without a pie pan, check out all of our hand pie recipes.
  • tip 3
    Cut small slits in the top of the crust before baking to allow the steam produced by the filling to escape during baking. This also helps avoid “pie gap,” which is when the filling shrinks but the crust stays lifted, leaving a wide gap between the two layers.
  • tip 4
    To give your turnovers a decorative finish, sprinkle cinnamon and coarse sugar across the top of the pastries after brushing with the egg mixture.
