Apple Turnover

What is it?

Flaky, golden pastry wraps around a cinnamon-spiced apple filling in this baked dessert from Arby's. Fruit center is cooked down to a soft, slightly chunky texture, more like apple compote than neat slices, and the crust holds its shape well enough to eat by hand. A thin white icing drizzle runs across the top for added sweetness. Usually served warm from the oven, it uses the same turnover format as the cherry version in the chain's lineup, with the filling doing the main work. Because it's baked rather than fried, the pastry stays lighter than a deep-fried pie, though it can still be quite rich.
