We’ve found that adding 5-6 cherries (with very little cherry sauce) is the right amount of filling. Also, about 2-3 apple slices seems to work well. Also, brushing the butter over top of the turnovers helps to brown the dough a bit. The sugar makes them a bit sweeter and look pretty. Also, as is probably true with most pastries, it’s better to let them cool on a cooling rack so the bottoms don’t get soggy (see pictures).
