    What makes this recipe so easy is using Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry sheets. The Pepperidge Farm does all the heavy work for you. All you have to do is concentrate on a tasty filling and putting together to bake in the oven!

    What are the best apples to use for turnovers?

    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.
