My favorite apples to use for this recipe are Granny Smith Apples. However, Northern Spy, Pink Pearl, Ginger Gold, and Pink Lady apples would all taste delicious in these apple turnovers.
How to store leftovers?
Store leftover caramel apple turnovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat on a baking dish for 5 minutes in the oven at 400 degrees.
