Golden Peach Turnovers are the ultimate treat when you want something warm, flaky, and bursting with summer flavor. With sweet, juicy peaches wrapped in buttery puff pastry, these turnovers bake up beautifully golden, making every bite a delicious mix of crisp and tender. Perfect for a quick dessert, weekend brunch, or even a mid-afternoon indulgence, they’re as impressive as they are easy to make.
The combination of fresh peaches, a hint of cinnamon, and just the right touch of vanilla creates a filling that’s both fragrant and naturally sweet. Once tucked inside layers of puff pastry, the magic happens in the oven — the pastry rises and browns while the filling turns luscious and jammy.
Peach pastries have a long history in European baking, often appearing in country fairs and market stalls, but these golden turnovers bring a modern, fuss-free twist you can whip up in your own kitchen. Serve them warm for maximum enjoyment — and don’t forget a little ice cream on the side.
Recipe Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 cup diced ripe peaches (peeled if desired)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for dusting)
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)
1 tbsp coarse sugar (for topping)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare filling:
In a small bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until evenly coated. Set aside for 5–10 minutes to release juices.
2. Preheat and prepare pastry:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and roll puff pastry into a 12-inch square. Cut into 4 equal squares.
3. Fill turnovers:
Place 2–3 tablespoons of peach filling in the center of each square. Fold pastry diagonally to form a triangle, pressing edges together. Seal with the tines of a fork.
4. Brush and sprinkle:
In a small bowl, whisk egg with milk. Brush over turnovers. Sprinkle with coarse sugar for crunch.
5. Bake to golden perfection:
Transfer turnovers to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 18–20 minutes, or until puffed and deeply golden.
6. Cool and serve:
Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Choose the ripest peaches: Sweet, juicy peaches will create the most flavorful filling without needing too much added sugar.
- Seal well to prevent leaks: Press edges firmly with a fork and avoid overfilling to keep the turnovers neat.
- Serve with a touch of luxury: A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes these turnovers to the next level.
