I love the crunchiness of the cooked puff pastry and the sweet and sourness of the apple, not so much on the cinnamon though. I used to buy those fried apple pie from a junk food outlet, because it is cheap and always available everywhere whenever I crave for it. Few months ago, I bumped into apple turnover in a Chinese bakery Chinatown and I loved it ever since. They are so much healthier because they are baked and not  fried like the the cheap one.

Few days ago, I had a ready rolled puff pastry left over in the fridge and I thought ‘why not making the apple turnover for my toddler’. I always want to give him a variety of foods to try on, so he could learn to love and appreciate healthy food. So I did the apple turnover my style. I mix the diced apples with honey instead of sugar, spread some ricotta cheese on the ready rolled puff pastry, put a spoonful of apple mixture, fold them into triangles, sprinkle some sugar to make the top sparkly appetizing, and they turned out to be a hit.
