Cherry Turnovers
These Cherry Turnovers are the ultimate sweet treat! Made with puff pastry, a can of cherry pie filling, and a drizzle of vanilla glaze, they’re the perfect easy dessert or breakfast pastry for any occasion
Equipment
- 1 sheet pan
Ingredients
- 1 17.3 ounce package frozen puff pastry sheets , thawed
- 1 21 ounce can cherry pie filling
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon sparkling sugar
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (I used whole milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
- Unfold both thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 squares (you will have 8 squares total).
- Place about 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling in the center of each pastry square, being careful not to overfill.
- Brush the edges of each square with egg wash. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
- Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sparkling sugar.
- Cut small slits in the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
- While turnovers are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth to make the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled turnovers and serve.
Notes
PRO TIP:
For a flakier crust, keep the puff pastry cold before baking. Work quickly on a lightly floured surface to maintain its texture.
