• How to store turnovers? Can they be frozen? They can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature for up to days. They cannot be frozen because they loose their crispy, flaky texture when they thaw.
• Seal edges and corners tightly– Because this also prevents the filling from leaking out during baking.
• Store-bought or homemade pie filling filling– Either can be used. If you are short on time, canned filling works just as well. However, don't use sugar-free fillings because they seem to have an odd bitter after-taste.
