Arby's Apple Turnover

About the Apple Turnover

Arby's Apple Turnover costs $2.29 and comes in at 430 cal, a warm fruit pastry priced low enough to tack onto any order without a second thought. You will find it on the Arby's dessert menu, and it also appears on the value menu, which tells you how the chain sees it: a small sweet finish, not a big commitment.

Arby's describes it with a wink, claiming that an Apple Turnover a day keeps you happy, satisfied and sufficiently pastried. The joke lands because the item is simple. A sheet of flaky pastry folds over a sweet apple filling, then bakes until the outer layers puff and crackle. Bite through the corner and the shell shatters a little before you reach the soft, jammy fruit inside. The flavor leans sweet with a mild tartness from the apple, the kind of taste that recalls a slice of homemade pie without the fork and plate.

The nutrition panel backs up the dessert label. One turnover carries 39 grams of sugars, 65 grams of carbohydrates and 18 grams of fat, with 4 grams of protein. Sodium stays fairly low at 210 milligrams, and there is zero cholesterol listed. Anyone tracking Apple Turnover calories can treat it as roughly the size of a small side, so it fits after a lighter sandwich more comfortably than after a stacked one.

Who orders it? Commuters grabbing a sweet bite at the drive thru, parents splitting one between two kids, and office workers who want something warm with an afternoon coffee. It travels well in its paper sleeve, and it holds heat long enough to eat in the car. Since the Apple Turnover price sits at the same level as the Cherry Turnover, the choice comes down to fruit preference alone. The cherry version lists 390 cal, a bit lighter than the apple.

Prices here come from one Austin, Texas location, and your local Arby's can charge a little more or less. Most stores keep the turnover on the value lineup, so it rarely climbs far from that number.

For a full meal, start with a Classic Roast Beef and finish with the apple pastry. The thin sliced beef and toasted sesame seed bun leave room for dessert, and the sweet fruit cuts through the savory, salty notes of the sandwich. A cold Vanilla Shake on the side turns the turnover into something close to apple pie à la mode.
