Fall is in the air with these classic golden puff pastry, Honeycrisp apples make for the perfect apple pie filling in these flaky pastries.

Few items invoke as much nostalgia as an apple does during early autumn. It’s when I know that we are heading into my favorite of seasons; the classic combination of in-season apples from Kroger, cinnamon, nutmeg layered with buttery pastry is my ah-ha moment when everything just seems to fall perfectly into place. — I’ll be sharing several apple forward recipes this season, but felt like I should start with a solid classic to celebrate the start — classic apple turnovers.

Plenty of in-season apples are widely available right now, including Honeycrisp, Gala, Sweetango… all of the apple options for both sweet and savory seasonal baking.

Honeycrisp (find them all in the fresh produce section of Kroger), one of my absolute favorites to bake with, keep the a perfect texture and bite without losing a single drop of flavor over the heat.

Using the best quality and most appropriate variant of apple is critically important to a successful fall bake. Honeycrisp apples are sweet, perfectly crisp, and couldn’t be any better to wrap in pastry for these turnovers.

With some chopped apples, cinnamon, butter, and sugar, I’m pretty sure you couldn’t possibly go wrong. I grabbed puff pastry (look for real butter in the ingredients) from the freezer (or make your own if you’re feeling frisky), cut it into triangles, stuffed it with the apple pie filling and baked them until my entire home smelled like leaves falling, s’mores, and every other fall favorite.

Golden and shiny, these flaky favs will celebrate the season with a sweet slam dunk.
