Ingredients

  • cherry pie filling
    21 oz
  • pie crusts)

    (double box

    3
  • flour)

    (for dusting

    ½ c
  • egg)

    (optional, whisked, for baking

    1
  • granulated sugar)

    (optional, for finishing

    1 tbsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Sprinkle your work surface liberally with flour, and add a bit on the baking pan as well. This will keep the pie crust from sticking.

  2. 2

    Roll out your pie crust, and use a round shape (cookie cutter, cup, bowl) to cut the dough in a circle. Don’t go smaller than about 3 ½ inches, or you won’t be able to fit a tablespoonful of filling inside. A five-inch circle should fit two tablespoons of pie.

  3. 3

    Spoon in your cherry pie filling, then fold your circle over and crimp the edges shut. If you prefer round turnovers, you can use a bit more cherry pie filling and place a second circle on top of your first, crimping shut all around.

  4. 4

    If you’d like to fry your turnovers small sizes are ideal. To fry, lower gently into the skillet of hot oil. Fry at 350 degrees for 1-2 minutes, turning as needed so both sides cook evenly. Drain on a paper towel.

  5. 5

    For baked turnovers, a larger circle works well. Before you stick them in the oven, brush the crust with whisked egg and sprinkle a little granulated sugar for a shiny, crisp finish. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for approximately 30 minutes, till the crust, is your preferred shade of golden brown.
