Fresh Raspberry Turnovers

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Stir one of the raspberry packages together with the sugar and 2 tablespoons apple juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reserve the second container of raspberries.
3. 3
   Cook the raspberries for about 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved into the juice, the raspberries start to soften, and the juice comes to a simmer.
4. 4
   Whisk the remaining tablespoon of apple juice with the cornstarch and add to the simmering raspberries. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, then stir in the remaining fresh raspberries.
5. 5
   Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 squares.
6. 6
   Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and spoon the raspberry filling into the center of each square.
7. 7
   Lift one corner of each square and carefully fold diagonally to make triangle-shaped puff pastry packets, pressing gently to seal the pastry edges.
8. 8
   Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheets. Brush egg wash on each turnover and sprinkle with raw sugar, if desired.
9. 9
   Bake for about 20 minutes, until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before serving.
