Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Cherry pie filling
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Once thawed, roll each sheet out slightly on a floured surface to smooth the creases.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, making a total of 8 squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of cherry pie filling in the center of each square, being careful not to overfill.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash.
Fold each pastry square in half diagonally to form a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing them together with a fork. Make small slits on top of each turnover to allow steam to escape during baking.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the top for a sweet, crisp finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and puffed up.
While the turnovers cool slightly, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm turnovers and allow them to set for a few minutes before serving.
