Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced peaches, from about 2 large peaches
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons instant tapioca
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 (17.3 ounce) package puff pastry
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon water

Preparation

Step 1

Adjust oven racks to upper and lower middle positions. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine diced peaches, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons sugar, tapioca, salt, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let stand 10 minutes.

Top one half of each rectangle with peach filling. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle, pressing out excess air. Use your fingers or a fork to press and seal the pastry together. Repeat with remaining squares. Brush each turnover with egg wash and then sprinkle with remaining sugar. Use a knife to make three 1 inch slits on the top of each pastry. Bake turnovers until golden, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
