It's apple season and my kitchen suddenly smells of cinnamon and pastry - bliss. From flaky cream-filled turnovers to old-school bakery apple slices, buttery shortbread squares and even homemade apple pop tarts, these are the delicious, easy-to-make treats that make the most of the fruit while the trees are heavy with apples.
1 - Apple Cream Turnovers
It's apple turnover season, and these timeless apple turnovers with cream are a beloved bakery treat for a reason: they're incredibly delicious! Tender, vanilla-infused apples are enveloped in a flaky puff pastry, generously filled with Chantilly whipped cream and topped with a light dusting of icing or powdered sugar. They'll taste as good as the ones from your favourite bakery!
2 - Classic Bakery Apple Slice
Confession: I know you're not supposed to have favourites but this is my favourite apple slice. This treat begins with a layer of delicious coconut cake as the base, followed by a filling of apples and topped with sour cream dusted with cinnamon. It's one of the tastiest and easiest slices to make. I love thw combo of sour cream, coconut cake and apples!
3 - Apple Shortbread Slice
This double-layered apple shortbread slice is a classic Australian recipe! Two layers of buttery shortbread dough sandwich a delicious layer of cinnamon-spiced apples. It's perfect for afternoon tea, lunchboxes or served with ice cream for dessert.
4 - Apple Pop Tarts
Home made pop tarts are so much better than bought ones! These apple pop tarts are great for a delicious breakfast or snack. Filled with apple and cinnamon and topped with a cinnamon glaze, they're buttery, flaky and have an aromatic cinnamon pastry!
5 - Apple Turnovers
I've got a delightful and simple treat for you: apple turnovers bursting with soft, spiced apple pie filling. Apples are encased in a crispy, flaky butter puff pastry and sprinkled with crunchy cinnamon sugar. They are perfect on their own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
So tell me Dear Reader, which apple slice or turnover is your favourite?
