1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove puff pastry from freezer to thaw if needed.

On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out each thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases.

Cut each pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, totaling 8 squares.
04 -
Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling in the center of each square, keeping the edges clear to prevent leaking.

Fold each pastry square diagonally to create a triangle. Seal and crimp the edges firmly with a fork.
06 -
Beat egg with 1 tablespoon milk. Brush the egg wash evenly over the tops of the turnovers.
07 -
Arrange turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
08 -
While turnovers bake, combine powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 to 3 tablespoons milk in a bowl. Whisk until smooth, adjusting milk for desired consistency.
09 -
Cool turnovers for 10 minutes after baking. Drizzle prepared glaze over each turnover. Serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage during baking.
02 -
Ensure the pastry is fully thawed before rolling for best texture.
