Cherry Puff Pastry Dessert Recipes: 7 Amazing Essential Ideas

  • Author: maya
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 9 turnovers

Description

These Easy Cherry Puff Pastry Turnovers are a simple yet satisfying dessert that comes together in minutes! Using store-bought puff pastry and canned cherry pie filling, these turnovers are flaky, buttery, and bursting with sweet cherry flavor. Perfect for a quick treat or a last-minute dessert!

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet (14.1 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

  • Optional: Powdered sugar, for dusting after baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Unfold Pastry: Gently unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.

  3. Cut into Squares: Cut the puff pastry sheet into 9 equal squares.

  4. Add Filling: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of cherry pie filling onto the center of each square, being careful not to overfill.

  5. Fold Over: Fold the pastry square diagonally to form a triangle.

  6. Seal Edges: Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal. This will help prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.

  7. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg.

  8. Sprinkle with Sugar: Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the egg-washed turnovers.

  9. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and puffed up.

  10. Cool and Serve: Let the turnovers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.

Notes

Variations: Add a teaspoon of almond extract to the cherry pie filling for a nutty flavor. Substitute the cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like apple, blueberry, or peach. Sprinkle chopped nuts (almonds, pecans) over the egg-washed turnovers before baking.

Tips: Make sure the puff pastry is thawed but still cold for best results. Don’t overfill the turnovers, as the filling may leak out during baking. If the edges of the turnovers are browning too quickly, cover the baking sheet with foil during the last few minutes of baking.

Allergies/Intolerances: This recipe is not gluten-free. If you have a gluten intolerance, look for gluten-free puff pastry. Some commercial cherry pie fillings may contain gluten, so read the labels carefully.

Taste Preferences: Adjust the amount of sugar sprinkled on top to your liking. For a tangier turnover, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the cherry pie filling.
