Easy Turnovers


I decided to make Turnovers for a Christmas Eve party. They were a huge hit and I didn't come home with any left. I made them again on New Years Eve for breakfast the next morning. Again a huge hit.

I started out with puff pastry. You get it in the freezer section at your local grocery store. Bring it to room temperature.


Once you have it at room temperature unfold it and cut it into squares. I got 9 out of each sheet of puff pastry.


Then take your favorite pie filling (I used cherry, apple and blueberry), and put about a tablespoon of the filling on the center of a pastry square.


Fold over the edge to make a triangle shape. Take a fork and press the edges closed. Place the turnover on a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray (makes clean up a lot easier). Brush the turnovers with an egg wash. One egg white with one teaspoon water mixed together. Sprinkle with sugar.


Bake at 400 for about 12-15 minutes. 
Then drizzle a powdered sugar glaze. There you have it yummy turnovers.
