If you love flaky, buttery pastry filled with sweet and tart cherry goodness, these Cherry Turnovers are a must-try. Made with store-bought or homemade puff pastry, these turnovers are baked until golden brown and finished with a light glaze for the perfect handheld dessert.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 to 6 equal squares, depending on your desired size.
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling onto the center of each pastry square. Fold diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden brown crust. Sprinkle with granulated sugar for extra crispiness. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons milk. Drizzle over warm turnovers and let them set before serving.
