What is a folded pie?

A folded pie (also called a turnover or a hand pie) is a pastry crust that is folded over a filling and sealed. The crust can be made from a variety of different types of dough, such as puff pastry, shortcrust pastry, or phyllo dough. The filling can be sweet or savory, and can include fruits, vegetables, meats, or cheeses. Folded pies are often baked, but can also be fried.
