Easy Peasy Apple Turnovers Recipe

"This recipe was inspired by mliss29's recipe #292754 (which was greatly enjoyed by the DS's recreation group) but put a sweet flavour to it instead of savoury. Please note if you do like it sweet then certainly add the sugar for without it is just the flavour of your fruit and the spices. For the serving size I have allowed 2 per person but depending on how much ice cream, custard etc. you choose could depend on how many you serve per person."
