Peach turnovers... my first batch

PEACH TURNOVERS





 

This recipe is so easy and fun I found it on www.seriouseats.com  but I added a few changes using what I had on hand in the cabinets.

 

Here's what you'll need to make these flaky treats

 

1) 14.5oz can of peaches halved, drained and diced (reserved the juices for your smoothies or juices)

2) 3 tsp. brown sugar

3) 4 tsp. sugar (divided)

4)2 tsp. tapioca flour (the recipe called for 2 tsp. of instant tapioca)

*******I mixed the tapioca with 1tsp of the reserve juices for the peaches sit aside 

5)1/2 tsp salt

6) 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

7) 1/4 tsp lemon (I also added 1/8 tsp. fresh lemon zest)

8) 1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 tsp water (use this for the egg wash on the turnovers)

9) 1 pk. of Pepperidge Farm puff pastry UNTHAWED

10) 1/8 tsp ground ginger (or to your taste)

11) 1/8 tsp. of nutmeg (or to your taste)

 

NOW...

Adjust the oven rack to the lower middle and lower upper position and preheat oven to 375, line two cookies sheets with parchment paper...

 

NOW...

Add the peaches to a good size bowl and using a potato masher crush the peaches yet leaving them chunky, now add the brown sugar, 2 tsp. of the sugar, nutmeg, ground ginger, tapioca mixture, salt, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest, stir to combine and allow to sit for 10 -20 minutes



 

 

MEANWHILE...

 On  a clean lightly dusted with flour, unfold the first sheet of puff pastry and cut into (4) four rectangles square-ish shapes

 NOW...

top each of the squares with the peach filling (approx. 1 TBSP...I eyeballed my amount) and the fold one opposite corner to the other corner and press the air out

 

 NOW...

Press the edges together using a fork to secure the edges, now brush the turnover with the egg wash and sprinkle them with the remaining sugar, now cut slit on top to allow, now place on the cookies sheet place on lower rack and bake for 10-15 minutes then move to top rack and continue to bake until golden done (total cooking time 20 minutes)

 

 NOW...

when the turnover was done place on cooling rack until cool or serve hot topped with vanilla ice cream



 

ENJOY!!!
