Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and lightly oil a baking sheet.
-
In a large bowl, stir the vegetable oil into the multigrain biscuit mix using a fork until the mixture is uniform in color and texture.
-
Add the apple juice and stir until a soft dough forms.
-
Let the dough rest for 2 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
-
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 12 to 15 times until smooth.
-
Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
-
Cut the dough into circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
-
Place each circle on a floured surface and roll it out slightly into a larger, thinner circle.
-
Spoon 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 teaspoons of jam or fruit filling into the center of each circle.
-
Fold the circle in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
-
Press the edges firmly together with a fork or your fingers to seal the turnover.
-
Place the sealed turnovers on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush the tops lightly with a little extra oil for a golden finish.
-
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
-
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Note
For a fried variation, heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350ðF (175ðC). Fry turnovers for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.
You can use any fruit filling you prefer, such as apple pie filling, cherry jam, or blueberry preserves.
Store leftover turnovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 350ðF oven for 5-10 minutes to restore crispness.
Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking or frying.
