apple tart update
Okay, here's where my confusion came from. In my mind, an apple tart looks like this:

And what I had always pictured Lorelai stuffing in her purse was something like this (what I would consider a turnover):

I suppose I could (gasp!) improvise something like a cross between the two, kind of like the no-pan apple pies where you fold the crust up over the filling but it's still open in the middle -- so it could be theoretically wrapped up in a napkin and stuffed into a purse. And make them itsy and personal-sized.
I'm really overthinking this, aren't I?
