Ingredients

• 3 large Fresh peaches
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets (thawed)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Turbinado or coarse sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel, pit, and dice the fresh peaches into small 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer the diced peaches to a medium mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the peaches. Gently stir to combine until the peaches are evenly coated.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the thawed puff pastry sheets until it's slightly larger than its original size. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares.

Step 5

Place about 2 tablespoons of the peach filling into the center of each square, being careful not to overfill.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash.

Step 7

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges with the tines of a fork to seal. Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the second puff pastry sheet, cutting, filling, and sealing the turnovers.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash, and if desired, sprinkle lightly with turbinado or coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit or poke a few holes in the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 11

Bake the turnovers in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your fresh peach turnovers!
