Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed according to package directions
- 2 cups homemade cherry pie filling
For the egg wash:
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
For the icing:
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Work with one sheet of the thawed puff pastry at a time, keeping the rest in the refrigerator until you’re ready to work with it to keep it cold.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheets and place on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently pinch the seams together and shape the dough into a square as needed. If dough gets warm while working with it, set it back in the refrigerator for a few minutes – you want the dough to stay cool.
- Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 4 smaller squares. Add 1-2 spoonfuls of pie filling to the center of each square (you may not use all of the pie filling). Whisk together the egg and water and brush a small amount of the egg wash along 2 edges of the dough. Fold over the dough, corner to corner, and gently press the edges together. Use a fork to crimp the edges and set the shaped turnover onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with each of the remaining dough squares.
- Use a knife to cut a small slit into the top of each turnover. Gently brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash. Bake for 20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. While the turnovers cool, whisk together the icing. Drizzle over the turnovers. Serve warm.
Notes
- To freeze the turnovers, place the assembled turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut a small slit into the top of each turnover but do not brush with the egg wash.
- Place the baking sheet with the turnovers into the freezer and freeze until solid. Store frozen turnovers in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 1 month.
- When ready to bake, place the frozen turnovers on a lined baking sheet; optionally brush with egg wash before baking. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.
- If you prefer not to ice your turnovers, try sprinkling the tops with coarse sugar or turbinado sugar just after brushing with the egg wash, before baking.
