Truly Scrumptious Flaky Apple Turnovers and one Big turnover

Thank you Julie of http://someonekitchen.blogspot.com/ for this weeks TWD recipe selection. Be sure to check out her blog for this wonderful Apple Turnover recipe. It also can be found on pages 316 and 317 in Dorie's cookbook From my Home to Yours. Can I just add how much I LOVE this cookbook! I sat down with it last night and turned through several pages of mouth watering recipes and pictures. I've done this several times and it still brings me joy! Here are an assortment of photos I took while baking.... I had so many scrap pieces of dough left I decided to bake one big pie or (I guess it's one big turnover ) I sprinkled some cinnamon chips and dots of butter before covering it up with the top turnover crust layer.
This turned out wonderful. The cinnamon chips really made the flavor extra good. I would definitely use the cinnamon chips in the smaller turnovers next time.
When I bit into one of these here is the song that started running through my mind... Truly Scrumptious from the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang... Toot sweets sound like what they are So do lollys in a lollypop jar Gingerbread men have a gingerbread sound, we've found Sugar plum cinnamon and lemon tart tell you what they are right from the start And your name does the same for you By coincidence, Truly Scrumptious You're truly truly scrumptious Scrumptious as a cherry peach parfait When your near us It's so delicious Honest Truly, you're the answer to our wishes Truly Scrumptious Though we may seem presumptuous Never, never, ever go away Our hearts beat so unrulyBecause we love you trulyHonest Truly, we doTruly scrumptious You two are truly scrumptious Scrumptious as the breeze across the bay When you're smilingIt's so delicious So beguiling You're the answer to my wishes Truly scrumptious You two are truly scrumptious And I shan't forget this lovely day My heart beats so unruly I also love you truly Honest truly, I do
Next week TWD ,September 22- Jacque of Daisy Lane Cakes decided on Cottage Cheese Pufflets, on pages 148 and 149.

Michelle, these look so good! I am making mine this evening, we are having a super busy day with ballet and hockey and I was just not ready for it :) I'm so happy to hear your good review, and I have some cinnamon chips that I will toss in as well, thanks for that suggestion!

Hindy said...

Love the idea of cinnamon chips! Glad you enjoyed.

Kayte said...

Love the photos...those look just like what went around here...except for those cinnamon chips that you all tease me with every now and again as I can never find them! I am sure those were a great addition. Very nice turnovers, inside and out!

Jessica said...

Truly Scrumptious is my favorite song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! I sing it to myself a lot while I'm in the kitchen.
Your turnovers are look truly scrumptious!

These were fun, weren't they?

And now I totally have that song stuck in my head.......

Those look SOOOOOO yummy! I also love that song in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. That is one of my favorite movies. When I was little, my mom got me a big formal dress to play dress up in and I would take a portable record player and play that "soundtrack" on a record in my backyard and pretend I was Truly Scrumptious. :)

These look great. The cinnamon chips sound perfect. I made one gigantic turnover too. The perfect way to get rid of the scraps and extra apples.

OMG, your flaky apple turnovers look perfect! I love the scalloped edges! When I tried it, the edges got mashed up. Perfect song to match with your turnovers! I wish I could find cinnamon chips, I never see them in the grocery store and I would love to bake with them! =)
