Disclosure: I am partnering with Kauffman’s Fruit Farm as a blog ambassador. I have received these Kauffman’s Fruit Farm products for free; however, all opinions remain my own.
I do like to cook homemade products for the family when I get in the mood to cook. We received the Gift Box of Orchard Samples from Kauffman’s Fruit Farm. I personally only cared about the apple butter spread that came in the box.
Del is an avid apple pie lover. However, very few people can make it to his liking and leaves me to having to make his homemade apple pie. When I got this sampler, I decided to make him homemade apple turnovers instead. I didn’t make the frosting go on them, but we had vanilla ice cream to go with it.
I’m also going to pass along to you my mother’s Foolproof Pie Crust. It’s the type of pie crust that will become flaky and melt in your mouth. I’m sure you’re going to love it on your homemade apple pie turnovers. Be sure and check out Kauffman’s blog post giving you 4 steps to a perfect pie crust.

Kauffman’s Fruit Farm Sampler Review
The fruit farm sampler was nice. I was thrilled to try the apple butter spread because I grew up eating apple butter spread a good bit. This apple butter spread was delicious, even though it had more tart flavoring than I am used to tasting. The apples we nice and fresh!
The apple Snitz has to be something that you acquire a taste for because I couldn’t get through trying it. I’ve never had that before! I was anticipating them to be like apple chips. That part was a bit disappointing for me.

Awesome! That’s MY mama’s pie crust recipe, too! 🙂 Isn’t it fabulous? The unusual additions of egg and vinegar take it over-the-top in flakiness and tenderness. I’m convinced you can put anything in that crust, and it will be good! Thanks for sharing…stopping by from the Mommy Moments link-up!
It is really good. I’m glad to see that your mama used this recipe too. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I hope to see you again soon.
