Ingredients
- 2 heets puff pastry dough thawed but very cold
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1 large egg
- Optional: Coarse sugar or a simple powdered sugar glaze 1 cup powdered sugar + 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the egg to a small bowl with a splash of water and whisk together for the egg wash.
- Unroll one puff pastry sheet at a time and place on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the dough in half and then each of those in half again to have four even squares.
- Place a large tablespoon of cherry pie filling into the center of each square.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry (around the filling) and fold one corner over and press the edges to seal in the filling and place them on the lined baking sheet as you work leaving at least 3 inches between each one since they expand.
- Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet.
- Brush each of the turnovers with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if you'd like.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and place to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Optional: Drizzle with a simple glaze. Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk. (for thinner glaze add another tablespoon of milk.

Notes
- Make sure to thaw the pastry sheets for a few hours in the fridge before starting this recipe. You want it to be thawed enough to handle but still very cold.
- Use any other fruit filling like blueberry, apple, peach, etc.
