Peach-almond turnovers

8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Ripe Peaches, Peeled, Pitted
Cut in 1/2\" chunks
2 tablespoons Peach Liqueur
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
½ cup (+ 3 Tbs) Sugar
3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
½ cup Almonds -- sliced
2 Sheets Puff Pastry, Frozen
Defrosted
1 Egg, Beaten With 1 Tsp
Water

Directions

1. Place the peaches in a bowl and toss with the peach liqueur, lemon juice, nutmeg, and ½ cup sugar. Let stand for 10 mins. Add the flour and the almonds and toss to coat well. 2. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 3. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 sheet of the pastry out into a square slightly larger than 10 x 10 inches. Trim to form a 10-inch square with very straight sides. Cut into four 5-inch squares. Brush the egg mixture lightly around the edges of each piece. 4. Place about ⅓ cup of the filling slightly off center on each square. Fold over the pastry to form a triangle and pinch the edges together to seal securely. Place the turnovers on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining sheet of pastry and filling. Brush tops with a little of the egg mixture and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 25 mins. Serve warm. Makes 8 turnovers.
