Spiced Pear and Almond Turnovers

Frozen puff pastry reduces the fuss factor in this recipe. Diced pears meet up with cinnamon, dried ginger, nutmeg, and light brown sugar, and bake in light, flaky pastry envelopes topped with crunchy sliced almonds.

Directions

60 min.
1. Step

Preheat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle.

2. Step

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out each sheet of pastry into a 1-inch square. Trim the edges, then cut each pastry sheet into 4 equal squares.

3. Step

Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for about 10 minutes while you make the filling.

4. Step

In a bowl, toss together the pear chunks, lemon juice, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

5. Step

Remove the pastry squares from the fridge and arrange them evenly on your workspace. Brush a thin layer of the egg mixture around the border of half of each square. Divide the filling among the pastry squares, placing it in the middle of the square.

6. Step

Fold the dough over the filling to make a triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the tops with the remaining egg mixture, cut slits in the top, then sprinkle with almonds.

7. Step

Place on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them evenly on the sheet.

8. Step

Bake until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown and oozing juice, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Delicious almond sponge cake

This almond cake recipe is very special to me, since I learned it from my grandmother when I was a little girl. I always adored the delicate flavor and the spongy texture that this cake achieves. It can be enjoyed alone or with a little jam, chocolate or cream, although I have always liked it with a simple cup of coffee or tea.
