Michelle Darmody: How to make the classic apple turnover — and mistakes to avoid

When any fruits are in season, the price generally comes down and it is a great time to bake with them - and in the case of apples to make use of their versatility.

These turnovers can be made with puff or filo pastry. I like the lightness and crispness of filo; it gives a satisfying crack when you bite into it.

Apples are hanging off tree branches, and there seems to be a particular russet glow on the fruit this year due to the warm weather over the past few months.

Overflowing apple trees are the ultimate sign that autumn is on the way and that summer is coming to a close.
