Cherry Divalicious Turnovers

Feast your eyes and prepare your taste buds for a journey to flavor town with these Cherry Divalicious Turnovers. These flaky, buttery pockets of joy are stuffed with a luscious cherry filling that’s just begging to be devoured, proving that sometimes, the best things in life are indeed turnovers.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 4 tbsp ice water
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry preserves, preferably tart
  • 1 pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tbsp turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and fine sea salt. Add the chilled, cubed unsalted butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Tip: Overworking the dough will make it tough, so stop as soon as it forms a ball.
  4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 6-inch squares.
  5. Place a generous tablespoon of cherry preserves in the center of each square. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Tip: For a decorative edge, crimp with a fork.
  6. Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the lightly beaten pasture-raised egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Tip: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns from the hot filling.

Every bite of these Cherry Divalicious Turnovers offers a perfect contrast between the crisp, golden pastry and the gooey, tangy cherry filling. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for an extra indulgent treat that’ll have everyone asking for seconds.

  4. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to fit your pie dish, then trim and crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten pasture-raised eggs, pure maple syrup, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.

  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Tip: Cover the edges with foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning.
