Easy Blackberry Turnovers

on
Hello RLA People! Today I am sharing a quick and easy blackberry turnover recipe. I have also tried doing these with raspberries or strawberries. It works just the same, so use whatever you have on hand!

These are basically grown up toaster strudels! 

Don't stress if you don't fold the dough perfectly or if it opens up in the oven. A few from my first batch did that and they still taste just as wonderful. 



Ingredients:

  • 2, 6oz packages of blackberries 
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice 
  • 1 tbsp corn starch (I didn't have any so I used flour and it worked fine)
  • 1 sheet of purchased puff pastry, thawed to package directions (find in the frozen desserts section)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk

Directions:
  1.  Preheat oven to 400
  2.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you don't have that, tinfoil will work fine. It just might get a little crispy. Spray it with cooking spray. 
  3. Rinse off your 2 packages of blackberries. Then, place them in a sauce pan. Add the white sugar and the lemon juice. 
  4. Simmer for about 2-4 minutes until the blackberries start releasing juices and softening. 
  5. Add the corn starch (or flour if you're like me and didn't have it). 
  6. Continue simmering until your blackberry sauce starts to thicken a little bit. Gently stir it for another 2-3 minutes. 
  7. Set aside and let cool for a few minutes. 
  8. Cut your thawed puff pastry into 6 equal pieces. Roll out those pieces into squares. 
  9. Fill half of each square with filling, leaving some space around the edges (a couple centimeters). 
  10. Fold opposite corner over to form a triangle. Press the dough down to create a seal using a fork. 
  11. Transfer turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. 
  12. Whisk together the egg yolk and water. Brush the turnovers with the egg yolk and water mixture. 
  13. Bake until golden. About 12-15 minutes. 
  14. While they are in the oven... make the icing! Whisk the confectioners sugar and milk together in a bowl until smooth. 
  15. Put the icing over the turnovers while they are still warm. 
Enjoy! Let me know how yours come out (:
