Apple Turnover

An unopened packaged of apple turnovers purchased from the store can last up to 7 days at room temperature, 1-2 weeks in the fridge or up to 3 months if frozen. If the turnovers are made at home, it's best to consume them within 2 to 3 days if kept at room temperature, a week if refrigerated, and up to 2 months if frozen.

Apple turnovers have a quite telling appearance when they’ve gone bad. If you notice any mould or a sour smell coming from your turnovers, those are strong signs that they are off. Also, if the pastry has become overly soggy or the fruit filling looks darker than usual, or appears to be unusually runny, the turnovers may have started to ferment. It's best to discard these immediately to avoid any foodborne illness.

• Make sure to cool homemade turnovers completely before storing them. • Opt for airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags if freezing the turnovers. This can prevent them from acquiring a freezer burn (you’ll want to avoid eating those!) • If storing apple turnovers in the refrigerator or pantry, wrap them in aluminum foil or plastic wrap to lock in a bit more of that delicious freshness. • Remember not to store your apple turnovers—or any pastry, for that matter—next to strong-smelling foods. Pastries can absorb those odors, which might alter their taste. • If you're reheating refrigerated or room temperature apple turnovers, warm them up in the oven for a few minutes rather than using a microwave. This will help in keeping the crust crispy.
