After I made my Sweet Pepper Jelly & Walnut Brie en Croute I had one remaining puff pastry sheet in the freezer begging to be used. It was also around the time that I was up to my eyeballs in peaches. My friend Jesseca over at One Sweet Appetite (one of my favorite blogs!) posted around the same time her recipe for Apple Turnovers. I knew immediately what I wanted to do with my extra puff pastry and I had all the ingredients to do it! Turnovers are great because you can fill them with whatever fruit you like. I’ve also made Crispy Apple Turnovers before when I was doing my “Cook This Not That” series of posts. What I love about these, is how simple they are to throw together. I was on my way to a quick get together and I wanted to take a fun little treat so in about 20-15 minutes time I had these whipped together, in hand, and walking out the door!
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 3 fresh peaches
- 1 tsp. raw sugar
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 egg
Instructions
-
Wash, peel, and finely dice peaches. Mix together with sugar and cornstarch. Heat the peach mixture on medium-low and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
-
Roll the puff pastry into a 9×15 rectangle. Cut the pastry into 8 equal squares for mini turnovers, or 6 squares for larger turnovers.
-
Preheat the oven to 425.
-
When the peach mixture has cooled, spoon 1-2 tablespoons of peaches onto the puff pastry squares, off center. Fold the pastry over the filling to make a triangle and seal the perimeter by pinching the edges or pressing the tines of a fork into the dough. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet and brush with the egg white.
-
Bake until the dough is crispy and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
You can also make a glaze to go over these that is a great addition. Just mix together powdered sugar with a little bit of milk, drizzle over the top of your cooled turnover, and voila!

pinned it. made it. delish. used canned peaches and cut them up small. Also used butter and brown sugar with a tiny bit of flour (1 tsp) since I didn’t have corn starch. a few variations to account for not having specific ingredients and it all worked out fine. you could even add cinnamon. SO YUMMY!
The recipe looks great but the place to click on send to my e-mail
does not work. I would like to save it.

I have always loved turnover but could only find the apple in stores. You have unleashed a turnover monster. Arrgh GRRRRR this is delicious!

When someone says to “wash & peel”, I’m wondering how this recipe will turn out…

There is seriously nothing better than biting into puff pastry…especially puff pastry filled with fresh peaches!!!

I LOVE puff pastry! You are right – sinking teeth into peaches filled puff pastry (that’s a mouthful) is pretty wonderful :)
