    Sharing is caring!

    Give the gift of gluten-free cherry turnovers. They look so fancy you could totally bring them to a party or wrap them up and give them to a friend, but they’re so easy!

    Gluten-Free Puff Pastry

    This is the only gluten-free puff pastry I’ve ever used. I think it’s awesome, and a really good product for something that’s really hard to find gluten-free. I get mine on Amazon in bulk and posted the link below for easy buying. If anyone knows of other gluten-free puff pastry brands, please let me know through Instagram DM!

    Time

    It only takes 15 minutes to assemble the turnovers and only 15 minutes in the oven. Very doable for a quick dessert. And, barely any dishes!

    Wrap It Up

    Package them up in a small box lined with parchment paper and wrap with a beautiful ribbon. This package would make a fun present to brighten someone’s day!

    Other Filling Ideas

    This recipe is so versatile. You can do almost any sweet or savory filling and have a delicious treat.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 package gluten free puff pastry
    • 2 cups frozen cherries
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • ⅛ cup sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 1 tablespoon water

    Instructions
     

    Preparation

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Filling

    • Heat cherries, lemon juice, and sugar on the stove until the cherries are melted.
    • Mix water and cornstarch together and add to the cherry mixture.
    • Heat on medium heat until the mixture thickens.
    • Take off heat.

    Assembly

    • Cut one sheet of puff pastry into nine even squares and arrange them on the baking sheet.
    • Spoon half a tablespoon of the cherry mixture in the middle of each puff pastry square. Be sure not the overfill. 
    • Fold one corner of the square to meet the opposite corner. The puff pastry should create a triangle shape.
    • Repeat for the remaining puff pastry squares.
    • Take a fork and press down the edges of each square.
    • Brush the squares with a beaten egg.
    • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
