Using store bought puff pastry makes these peach turnovers easy to put together. The reward, a warm, flaky pocket of cinnamon-spiced peaches, is more than worth the effort.

1

Unfold puff pastry sheets onto a clean work surface. Cut each sheet of pastry into four rectangles.

3
Top one half of each rectangle with peach filling. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle, pressing out excess air. Use your fingers or a fork to press and seal the pastry together. Repeat with remaining squares. Brush each turnover with egg wash and then sprinkle with remaining sugar. Use a knife to make three 1 inch slits on the top of each pastry. Bake turnovers until golden, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
