Ingredients
Scale
For the Turnovers:
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or canned, drained)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
For the Egg Wash:
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, toss peaches with sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut each sheet into four squares (total of 8).
- Fill the turnovers: Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of peach filling into the center of each square. Brush the edges with egg wash, then fold into a triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.
- Egg wash & venting: Brush the tops with more egg wash and cut two small slits in each turnover for steam release.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Cool & glaze: Let the turnovers cool for 10 minutes before drizzling with the vanilla glaze.
- Serve & enjoy! Best enjoyed warm, but they store well too!
Notes
- Fresh vs. Canned Peaches: If using fresh peaches, ensure they are ripe but not too soft. If using canned peaches, drain them well to avoid soggy turnovers.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or in the fridge for 3 days.
- Freezing: Freeze unbaked turnovers for up to 3 months and bake directly from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes to the baking time.
- Alternative Fillings: Try swapping peaches for apples, mixed berries, or even Nutella for a fun twist!
