I remember my prof in UP who talked about the Golden Turon. The story goes like this, somebody wanted to sell turon in a local community, but everybody had that perfect idea that they would be selling turon every afternoon. So this brilliant person with a “marketing background” thought of naming his turon the “golden turon”. And the rest is history, he might be the turon magnate already and must have sold more than thousands of golden turons. For marketing people, it’s called the USP – Unique Selling Proposition. hehe well enough about marketing. Let’s talk about street food.

I love turon, I would always buy turon from the manang outside Casaa in UP before I go home. Those were the very few times that I opted to stay home and enjoy merienda with my mom. My mother loved turon with langka (jackfruit). I guess, the turon became more special because it was time well spent with my mom. We would discuss what happened in school and what transpired thru her day.

I still buy some turon, but it was never again shared with my mom since she passed away. I would sometimes buy an extra one for her and leave it by her picture.

I had extra time today so I made turon for merienda. It was a golden turon indeed since I used apples instead of saging na saba. Hope you’ll like my recipe.

Apple turon

4 apples (cubed)
1 tsp of sugar
cinnamon
1/4 cup of butter

Cook apples in butter until tender, add sugar and cinnamon. Cook until the liquid reduces. Then set aside to cool.

Once the apple mixture is cooled, get the lumpia wrapper. Put a tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center and wrap. Fry the turon until golden brown. Adding some brown sugar before it is cooked. Drain well in paper towels.
