Ingredients

  • 2 sheets Puff pastry
  • 21 ounces Cherry pie filling
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water
  • ½ cup Powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons Heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Note: Use temperature listed on the puff pastry box.
  • Set puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
  • Cut the sheet into 6 equal squares.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the egg and water.
  • Brush the egg wash around the edges of each puff pastry square.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling to each square. I found that it was about 6 cherries and some of the juices. Pretend your square has a diagonal line from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. Put your filling on the right side of the invisible line, leaving the edge with the egg wash exposed.
  • Fold the pastry in half creating a triangle. Seal the edges together by lightly pressing down on them and then using a fork to press the edges together sealing them more firmly.
  • Place each turnover on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Lightly brush the egg wash over each of the sealed turnovers.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the tops are a golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  • While the turnovers cool make your glaze. In a small bowl whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream.
  • When the turnovers have cooled drizzle with the glaze. Let set for 15 minutes then serve.
