Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough, thawed overnight in the refrigerator.
  • 4-5 apricots, pitted and sliced (do not peel.) This will be about 12 ounces or so of sliced apricots.
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1-2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 egg, beaten with a tablespoon of water
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400F
  • Toss the apricot slices with the cornstarch, sugar, and almond extract until everything is well combined. Set aside while you work with the dough.
  • Put the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and gently roll out to an 11x11 inch square.
  • Cut the pastry into four squares. Nudge your squares out to about 6-7 inches square, with the rolling pin.
  • Spoon a little of the apricots onto the center of each square. Gently pull one side over into a triangle, gently stretching it over the fruit. Use a fork to press along the edges to seal.
  • Brush each turnover lightly with the egg wash, and then poke the top once with the tip of a sharp paring knife.
  • Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for about 25 minutes, or until the turnovers are risen and golden brown.
  • Cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar if you want to, and then enjoy right away.
