Today’s blast from the past is quite a treat. Who remembers these?

A woman named Francine said, ‘I can still see little me looking longingly through the glass of the local cake shop window. Just reminiscing as I sip my lovely coffee and look forward to tasting this gastronomic delight.’

That makes two of us, Francine.

Today’s blast from the past is quite a treat. Who remembers these?

According to a woman named Francine, who shared this in a forum, this humble pastry brought back memories of her childhood. ‘I can still see little me looking longingly through the glass of the local cake shop window,’ she said.

‘Just reminiscing as I sip my lovely coffee and look forward to tasting this gastronomic delight,’ she continued.

That makes two of us, Francine.

I had a moment of panic as the original post didn't include one, but luckily, @Suzanne rose shared one with us that you might find useful @Defiant540 Here it is: https://seniorsdiscountclub.com.au/threads/easy-apple-turnovers.16390/

You can get these in Coles and Woolies but be aware of the fruit content , it is almost non existent, in fact, sometimes if you find fruit you are amazed. Not a good product

I was going to say the same. They are available. I always liked the apricot ones.

I remember these and I loved them. I can still get them at my local cake shop that still has so many cakes and buns like I had in my childhood. They still taste the same as the recipes have been passed down to the new owners some years ago after the original owners sold up to retire after many years in their old fashioned cake shop. The new owners have updated the shop but kept all of the old favourites with the addition of lots of new treats.

apple turnovers by coincidence

My favourite was Banbury Tarts…have an awesome little bakery 8 kilometers from my home, they make them. Definitely not the same size as the ones I remember, but the taste is spot on!!

Unfortunately they rarely use actual cream these days. Instead they use that mock cream that tastes like greasy sugar yuck
Same goes with chocolate eclairs....

My local bakery still makes these and they taste just the same as when I was younger. My all time favourite are cream buns, local bakery makes them as well and they taste just the same as the ones I used to buy at high school in the 60s. I treat myself to one every month or so for old times sake.

My local bakery makes most items with a choice of fresh or mock cream which is good. I like both so doesn’t bother me.

On my way to work in the mid 60s, I would pass a very small bakery just as the apple turnovers were coming out of the oven. Resistance was futile!

A little while again my new girlfriend (met again after nearly 60 years) coerced me to go to Yamba to play croquet. Next day she suggested we take the ferry across to Iluka. Very pleasant. After a couple of hours of walking we came upon a little bakery. To my astonishment they had apple turnovers (just what I was wanting) but there was an even bigger surprise in store for me. The cream filling was bee-sting custard. What a treat !!!!

 

[Jarred Santos]

I've been craving for something to go along with my no-sugar coffee, and thanks to your comments, I think I've found it

Bon Appetit !!
