Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface 1 box (17.25 ounces, 2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, thawed 1 bag (12 ounces) frozen cherries 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 large egg yolk, beaten with 2 teaspoons water (for egg wash) 2 to 3 tablespoons coarse sanding (or granulated) sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, using a rolling pin, roll out each sheet of dough, still folded into a rectangle about 10 by 14 inches (trim edges straight with a pizza cutter or knife). Cut each rectangle into quarters to form 8 small rectangles.

In a medium bowl, combine cherries, flour, granulated sugar, and lemon juice; toss to coat. Mound cherry mixture on one side of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Lightly brush border with water; fold other side of pastry over cherry mixture, and press edges firmly to seal. With a floured fork, crimp edges.

Transfer turnovers to a baking sheet. With a paring knife, cut 3 to 4 slits in the top of each turnover. Brush tops with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar.

Bake until turnovers are golden and puffed, and filling is bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/16/2009   is there a substitute for the egg wash, due to that I'm allergic to eggs. these look so good i would like to make these.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/06/2009   If I use canned fruit, do I drain the excess liquid? Thanks for the help.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/04/2008   Mmm, I'm going to make these with raspberry pie filling! and blueberries when they are in season. My bushes are loaded with unripe ones right now!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/04/2008   Yes, fresh cherries can be used. And I agree, what a great easy recipe to use with the kids. Cherries are great right now. You could also use the canned cherries if you need to.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/03/2008   Can fresh bing cherries be used in this recipe?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/03/2008   This seems like such an easy recipe, even the kids could get involved! In fact, I'm babysitting my neice for a few weeks this summer, and i think I'll add this to our already growing list of activities!!
