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