Air Fryer Cherry Turnovers Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 can of cherry pie filling (or 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and sweetened to taste)
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
- Flour (for dusting)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it out and prevent any cracks. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares.
- Fill the Pastry: Place a spoonful of cherry filling in the center of each square. If you’re using fresh or frozen cherries, mix them with vanilla extract and a bit of sugar before adding them to the pastry.
- Seal the Turnovers: Fold each square over to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and ensure they’re well sealed.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden color as they cook.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Turnovers: Place the turnovers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed.
- Cool and Dust: Once done, remove the turnovers and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy your cherry turnovers warm as a delightful dessert or snack!
