Peach Turnovers With Phyllo Dough Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º.
• As you're slicing the peaches, save the juice.
• Combine peach juice with sugar and cornstarch in saucepan. Cook until thick and bubbly.
• Add peaches, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Cool slightly.
• Lightly roll out each pastry sheet on floured surface.
• Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
• Place some of peach filling on half of each square. Brush edges with beaten egg. Fold over into a triangle (or rectangle) and press to seal edges (or crimp with fork).
• Place on baking sheets.
• Bake at 400º for 10-15 minutes until lightly brown and puffy.
• Cool on racks.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Or frost with a powdered sugar frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Onto a clean, dry work surface, place phyllo dough sheets. Cover with a damp towel (but not overly wet). Make sure there is an equal-sized clean, dry work space very close to the covered phyllo dough, as this will make assembly much easier.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Place one regular-sized 12-cup muffin pan nearby.
• Peel and slice peaches and place in a large bowl. Then add sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Stir to combine thoroughly and set aside.
• Carefully take first phyllo sheet from the top of the stack and lay it onto the prepared clean, dry work surface. Re-cover the stack with the damp towel.
• Gently brush a light layer of butter onto the phyllo sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture, top with another phyllo sheet and repeat until four sheets have been stacked and buttered.
• With a pastry cutter or pizza cutter, gently cut phyllo into six evenly-spaced squares.
• Carefully tuck phyllo squares into muffin cups. Spoon peach filling into the center of each (about 6 peach slices in each cup).
• Bake for 20-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
• Serve warm and enjoy!
