These caramel turnovers are my go to treat when I want something special without spending hours in the kitchen. With just 45 minutes from start to finish, they're surprisingly simple to make, especially if you use store bought flaky pastry dough to save time. The buttery layers get filled with rich homemade caramel sauce that's absolutely irresistible. I love that butter, one of our main ingredients, contains fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A that support eye health and vision. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or an afternoon snack, these golden, crispy turnovers deliver that impressive bakery quality result without the stress or expense.
