Peach Turnovers for 8 Servings

Instructions:

1. Combine sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the liquid becomes a translucent gel.
3. Remove filling from heat and let it cool completely to prevent melting the pastry butter layers.
4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Roll out the thawed puff pastry slightly on a floured surface and cut into 8 equal squares.
6. Place 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach mixture in the center of each square.
7. Fold the pastry diagonally to create a triangle and crimp the edges firmly with a fork.
8. Whisk the egg and water together and coat the top of each turnover evenly with a pastry brush.
9. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the crust is deep mahogany-colored and the pastry has lifted.
10. Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
