Step 1: Ingredients

Of course, you could use fresh ingredients for this pie (in fact, I used some fresh peach filling left over from Pie Pops) and a leftover pie crust, but prefab is the fastest route between your mouth and pie.

Premade pie crust
One can filling of your choice
1 1/2 cup oil (or enough to fry in)

Go ahead and start heating up that oil now (over med heat) so it will be ready for you when you're ready for it!

In holland, we fill these with apples and raisins and call them "appelflappen"

I think apple flappen are baked, and not fried, though

i personally use the name appelflappen instead of apple turnovers :D
its a much cooler name !

Am I the only one who grins about the name "appelflappen"? :D BTW, I think I'm gonna try these if I ever get a pie-lust.

oHHHH......one of my favourite memories of my trip to Amsterdam was "appelflappen". Is it really just a pie dough outer crust? Somehow the texture led me to believe the outer appelflap crust was more like a puff pastry-meets-pie crust? Wow, I would love to be able to replicate a dutch appelflappen at home, or even come close...

If you had leftover meat, gravy and vegetables could you bake it and turn it into a pasty?

ttaylor10 in reply to PJECJul 21, 2011. 12:32 PM

PJEC, you are so right, pasty's are so good! You should do an instructable for the pasty deprived. :)

Delicious hmmm...

Very similar to Russian piroshki/Polish pierogi. You can fill them with almost anything. My grandmother, an immigrant made them filled with a sort of white, sweetened cheese that was so good, but unfortunately, I don't have the recipe for it. I'm not even certain if it was sweetened cottage cheese or cream cheese.

madmada in reply to DHFabianApr 26, 2011. 6:47 PM

Mmmmm pieroggi!!
My nan makes these with diced apple and sugar as a filling, or mashed potato and bacon, also sauerkraut ones too.
She boils them first, then fries them when they are ready to be eaten.
