Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1 box (17.25 ounces, 2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 bag (12 ounces) frozen cherries
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 large egg yolk, beaten with 2 teaspoons water (for egg wash)
2 to 3 tablespoons coarse sanding (or granulated) sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, using a rolling pin, roll out each sheet of dough, still folded into a rectangle about 10 by 14 inches (trim edges straight with a pizza cutter or knife). Cut each rectangle into quarters to form 8 small rectangles.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cherries, flour, granulated sugar, and lemon juice; toss to coat. Mound cherry mixture on one side of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Lightly brush border with water; fold other side of pastry over cherry mixture, and press edges firmly to seal. With a floured fork, crimp edges.
  • Transfer turnovers to a baking sheet. With a paring knife, cut 3 to 4 slits in the top of each turnover. Brush tops with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
  • Bake until turnovers are golden and puffed, and filling is bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Thaw the puff pastry sheets completely before using. This will make them easier to work with and prevent them from tearing.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry sheets. This will help to create clean, even edges.
  • Don't overfill the turnovers. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and may cause them to burst open during baking.
  • Seal the turnovers well. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Bake the turnovers until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy, flaky crust.

Conclusion:

Cherry turnovers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delicious pastries that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
