Looking for a tasty and easy dessert recipe? Try making some fruit turnovers! These flaky pastries filled with sweet fruit are a crowd-pleaser at any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 2 cups diced fruit (apples, peaches, or berries)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in the cold water, stirring until a dough forms. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the diced fruit, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Roll out each piece of dough into a circle. Spoon the fruit mixture onto one half of the circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg. Fold the other half of the dough over the fruit filling and press the edges to seal.
- Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown.
