Member's Value Apple Turnover

I remember way back when I was young we use to buy apple turnover at the grocery store. My sister and I would always heat it up in the oven. We would bring out some vanilla ice-cream. They call it pie a ala mode in California. It is a popular dessert. Carmina was able to find Member's Value Apple Turnover in S&R Philippines for PHP 349.00 ($6.98) for one pack that has four pieces. If you don't have an conventional oven no problem you can heat it up in a toaster oven for five minutes.
