Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen fruit (such as blueberries, apples, or peaches)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine your chosen fruit, 2 tablespoons of sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the fruit is well-coated and set aside.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares.
Place a generous spoonful of the fruit mixture in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill, or they may burst during baking.
Fold the pastry over to create a triangle shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra decorative touch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash to ensure they bake to a beautiful golden color.
In another small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the tops of the turnovers for added sweetness and flavor.
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm, flaky fruit turnovers as a delicious dessert or a sweet snack!
