Cherry Turnovers with Puff Pastry
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Serves 9
Ingredients
- 2 cups of Stemilt’s dark-sweet cherries, pitted and halved
- 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 lb. store-bought puff pastry dough, thawed
- All-purpose flour, for rolling
- 1 egg yolk, mixed with ½ tsp. water
- Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the cherries, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and cornstarch to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to boil for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate to cool completely.
- On a heavily floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 15-inch square. Using a pastry wheel, pizza cutter or very sharp knife, cut the square into 9 five-inch squares.
- Place about 2 Tbsp. of the cooled filling just off center of each square. Fold the squares over, corner-to-corner, to form a triangle. Seal the edges by pressing around the turnover with a fork. Carefully place each turnover on to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375˚F.
- Brush the tops of each turnover with the egg wash and sprinkle with a bit of turbinado sugar. Bake the turnovers for 20 to 25 minutes or until they are puffed and golden.
- Remove and cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Serve warm.
