Peach Turnovers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2/3 cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 6-8 tablespoons of ice water
- 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the diced peaches, 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12x12 inch square. Cut the dough into 8 equal squares.
- Place a spoonful of the peach filling onto one half of each square, leaving a border around the edges. Brush the edges with the beaten egg, then fold the dough over the filling to create a triangle. Use a fork to crimp the edges to seal the turnovers.
- Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Peach turnovers have a rich history dating back to the 19th century, with origins in Southern cuisine.

Whether enjoyed as a breakfast treat or a dessert, peach turnovers continue to captivate food enthusiasts with their irresistible charm.
