Easy Apple Turnovers with Cheese

Make these Easy Apple Turnovers with Cheese as a simple and delicious dessert or snack! Use a pre-made puff pastry for extra ease.

Turnovers are such a delicious dessert.  And did you know that they are simple enough to make at home?  True story.  They’re one of the easiest desserts to make.  The secret is to use a pre-made puff pastry crust.  I always keep a box of pre-made puff pastry in my freezer to put together quick pies and desserts like turnovers.  I especially like to use them when I have loads of fruit that needs to be used up.  Such is the case with these Apple Turnovers.

This summer I was lucky enough to be able to pick a giant bag of apples from our neighbour’s apple tree.  I love to have apples around, especially in the fall, so I can bake with them.  Apple turnovers, Apple pies, apple cakes, apple butter, apple oatmeal…apple in everything.  So when this month’s Canadian Cheese of the Month arrived at the door, I knew I had to pair it with apples and pastry.

Le Gré des Champs certified organic cheese is the cheese of the month, as part of my partnership with Dairy Farmers of Canada.  This cheese comes from the family owned business, Au Gré des Champs’ in Quebec.  Made with raw cows’ milk from a herd of Swiss brown dairy cows, this cheese is creamy, rich and tastes like a soft Swiss Cheese.  Its smooth texture and nutty aroma pairs beautifully with apples.  It’s also a really great snacking cheese…I’m also imagining it baked in a bowl of French Onion Soup…oh my.

But when it’s apple season, one must combine apples and cheese together!  I mean, is there any better combination than apples, cheese and pastry?  I think not.  So I made Apple Turnovers with Cheese.

These apple turnovers are so simple to make.  I just made a quick apple pie filling, rolled out pre-made puff sheets, and shredded some of the Le Gré de Champs cheese for the tops of the turnovers.

In less than 30 minutes we had delicious apple turnover pockets right from the oven.  Some covered in melted cheese.  All smothered in cinnamon and sugar.  So delicious.

Just look at all that delicious bubbled cheese.  Yummmm

These turnovers are a perfect way to enjoy seasonal apples. Serve them up with extra slices of cheese.  One cannot have too much cheese.  😉
