Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚ and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Stir one of the raspberry packages together with the sugar and 2 tablespoons of apple juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Reserve the second container of raspberries.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into four squares.
  • Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and spoon the raspberry filling into the center of each square.
  • Lift one corner of each square and carefully fold diagonally to make triangle-shaped puff pastry packets, pressing gently to seal the pastry edges.
  • Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheets. Brush egg wash on each turnover and sprinkle with raw sugar, if desired.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
  • Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Turnovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat in a 300˚ oven or toaster oven until warm.
