Vegan Turnovers

by robertjaimes

Servings: 8 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 box of frozen puff pastry* (2 sheets)
1 large jar of "real fruit" preserves (apple, blueberry, peach, strawberry, etc.)
2 cups Powdered sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
cold water
Parchment paper or Silpat lined cookie sheet

INSTRUCTIONS

Lightly strain preserves to remove excess "goop". Warming in the microwave usually helps. Make sure preserves are cool before continuing.

Thaw pastry according to box directions. Open and flatten each sheet. Use a pizza wheel to cut each sheet into 4 equal pieces for a total of 8.

Spoon equal amounts of fruit (1-2 Tablespoons) from strainer onto the center of each sheet of pastry. Add a spoon of the strained liquid if desired.

Brush all 4 edge sides of dough with water and fold in half to make a triangle. Press until sealed, but be as gentle as possible.

Repeat until all turnovers are made. Place on cookie sheet (parchment lined or Silpat lined if possible) and put in freezer for 10 minutes to firm up dough.

Place in preheated 350°F oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Slide parchment or Silpat onto wire rack and cool.

Mix powdered sugar, vanilla extract and a few Tablespoons of cold water to make a glaze (on the thicker drizzle side is better). Drizzle over cooled pastries.

CHEF COMMENTS

* One of the Premium Name Brand's (they also make cookies named after an Italian city) puff pastry does not contain any animal ingredients, despite it being from the "Farm".

Variations instead of powdered sugar glaze: brown rice syrup, maple syrup (great with apple)
