Homemade Cherry Turnovers

Flaky, golden puff pastry filled with sweet-tart cherry filling and drizzled with a light glaze. A bakery-style treat you can make right at home—perfect for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon indulgence!

Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed, if frozen)
  • 1 ½ cups cherry pie filling (or homemade cherry compote)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tsp milk (for glaze)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Pastry – Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 equal squares.
  2. Add Filling – Spoon 2–3 tbsp cherry filling into the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill.
  3. Fold & Seal – Fold each square into a triangle, pressing edges with a fork to seal. Brush tops with egg wash (egg mixed with 1 tbsp water).
  4. Bake – Place turnovers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Make the Glaze – In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  6. Finish & Serve – Once turnovers are slightly cooled, drizzle glaze over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

✨ Buttery, crisp, and bursting with juicy cherry flavor—these turnovers taste just as good as they look!
