Glazed Strawberry Turnovers in Air Fryer

Glazed Strawberry Turnovers made in an air fryer are a delightful and easy-to-make treat, featuring flaky pastry filled with sweet strawberry filling and topped with a simple glaze. Here’s how you can prepare them:

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
   • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
   • Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
   • Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
2. Assemble the Turnovers:
   • Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares.
   • Place a tablespoon of the cooled strawberry filling in the center of each square.
   • Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the beaten egg.
   • Fold each square into a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal.
   • Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure they are sealed.
3. Air Fry the Turnovers:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
   • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
   • Place the turnovers in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between them.
   • Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
   • Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and puffed.
4. Prepare the Glaze:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   • Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
5. Glaze the Turnovers:
   • Once the turnovers are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
   • Drizzle the glaze over the warm turnovers before serving.

Notes:

• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Variations: You can substitute strawberries with other fruits like blueberries, apples, or peaches.
• Serving Suggestion: These turnovers are delicious on their own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
