A Great Family Night Snack

When the kids help me in the kitchen with this recipe, they have fun making the fork marks along the edges of the pies. This is a great recipe that the kids and I can make together, giving us some much-needed family time.

  5. Those mini apple turnovers sound so good. I love fruit pies but living alone I don’t want to either buy or bake an entire pie. These would be perfect for me. I have seen McCafe coffee in the supermarket but have yet to try it. I probably will try the Breakfast Blend first.

  25. Those Homemade Mini Apple Turnovers look beautiful and tasty. Thank you for the savory saver recipe. AND…Great gift idea for the McCafe coffee which I didn’t know you could get like that. As a marketer, I heard that their coffee rated better than, well you know who! 🙂

  36. I love McCafe coffee and just did my own review & recipe share 🙂 I love it anytime of the day. Right now my fav is Hazelnut or Breakfast Blend. I think the BB taste just like McDonald’s Coffee.

  38. My McCafe smelled okay when I squeezed some air out of the bag, even though I HATE buying ground coffee beans. I pretty much like McDonald’s coffee compared to other cheap coffee’s.

  45. My husband always looks forward to the holidays because my mom gifts him with a ton of the McCafe coffee pods, which are his favorite. The mini pies wouldn’t last long in our house. I’d gobble them up hot off the tray!

  57. These look very good. I love apples. Especially with brown sugar. And if i cheat and use premade dough it would be even quicker and easier to make. And faster to enjoy.

  58. I just made these today. Only I made half of them with apples and half with bananas. I think I liked the banana ones more. the bananas were creamy and wonderful with the brown sugar. Sort of like a bananas foster turnover.
