Ingredients

• 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 1 cup Cherry pie filling
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Once thawed, roll each sheet out slightly on a floured surface to smooth the creases.

Step 3

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, making a total of 8 squares.

Step 4

Place a heaping tablespoon of cherry pie filling in the center of each square, being careful not to overfill.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold each pastry square in half diagonally to form a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing them together with a fork. Make small slits on top of each turnover to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 7

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the top for a sweet, crisp finish.

Step 8

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

Step 9

While the turnovers cool slightly, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Drizzle the glaze over the warm turnovers and allow them to set for a few minutes before serving.
