The turnover is a type of filled pastry dish that is frequently, although it doesn't have to be, triangular in shape. These can be both sweet and savoury; the apple turnover is, fairly naturally, a sweet turnover.
A square of pastry - shortcrust and puff pastry are the most commonly used types - has the filling, in this case apple, placed on it, and the square is then folded over and sealed, which leads to the triangular shape. A variant would be to use a circle, which would create a half moon shape. Once sealed, the turnover is cooked, which is usually by baking but can be by frying. The cooked turnover is then frequently served hot.
Turnovers, and similar dishes, come in regional variations all over the world.
