{Semi} Homemade Cherry Turnovers

 

This is a recipe that popped into my head yesterday, and I couldn't wait to try it out. Do you like Pillsbury Toaster Strudel? Well these are BETTER! And you can make more of them for less moolah!

Make these for breakfast, brunch, dessert, a snack, when you're bored, when you can't sleep, when you want something sweet, when you want something fruity, when.... Well you get the picture. They are SO yum-o and I almost got a stomach ache from eating too many of them.

 

Here's how to do it:

INGREDIENTS:

* 2 Cans of Crescent Rolls

* 20 oz Can of Cherry Pie Filling

* 1 egg, beaten

* Powdered Sugar for Sprinkling

 

MAKES: 8 Turnovers

 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Open one can of Crescent Rolls and spread out each of the 8 triangles on the baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other.

 

2. Spoon a small amount of Cherry Pie Filling across each triangle. Leave at least 1/4" edge all around.

{I like to make sure there are at least 2 or 3 cherries per triangle, so that they are not just filled with the cherry gel. Try not to mound them up too high with filling.}

 

3. Brush the beaten egg around the edges of each triangle, where you made sure not to spread the filling.

 

4. Open the second can of Crescent Rolls and lightly stretch each triangle, before laying across the bottom triangle and filling. Lightly press around all the edges of each turnover, so that the top and bottom pieces stay together.

 

5. Lightly brush the egg across the top of each turnover. This will help them to brown as they bake.

 

6. Bake for 18 minutes, or until golden brown and fully baked.

 

7. Sprinkle with Powdered Sugar and top with remaining Cherry Pie Filling.

 

Try not to gobble them up too fast! The good news is that they're so easy, you can make another batch if you do. :)

 

Happy Creating!
