• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 lb peaches (fresh, peeled and sliced)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400º.

As you're slicing the peaches, save the juice.

Combine peach juice with sugar and cornstarch in saucepan. Cook until thick and bubbly.

Add peaches, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Cool slightly.

Lightly roll out each pastry sheet on floured surface.

Cut each sheet into 4 squares.

Place some of peach filling on half of each square. Brush edges with beaten egg. Fold over into a triangle (or rectangle) and press to seal edges (or crimp with fork).

Place on baking sheets.

Bake at 400º for 10-15 minutes until lightly brown and puffy.

Cool on racks.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Or frost with a powdered sugar frosting.

BRAVO....these are easy to make and really yummy! Thanks for sharing, I will make them again in the future!!!

Had just bought alot of peaches and was looking for a good turnover recipe using puff pastry. this was just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Thanks much for sharing this recipe, one I need to keep on file so I can actually make it with fresh peaches next time around! Meanwhile, I did it up with canned peaches & was pleased with the results! With home grown, though, or with nice ripe peaches in season, this would be an even greater hit!
