Help!! Turnovers without puff pastry?
Here's a recipe for a Blueberry Tart that uses a similar filling that I mentioned above -- this could easily be interchanged with apples and blackberries and/or used with phyllo dough. Making the filling first helps eliminate the watery berry/watery dough issue.
Help!! Turnovers without puff pastry?
Sorry I don't have a cream cheese tart dough to recommend -- although I bet you could substitute part of the butter in a basic tart dough with the cream cheese (possibly adding a bit more flour too). Something to try if you'd like to experiment. :) Sounds delish.
Another idea: Have you ever tried phyllo dough? I've used it to make individual 'turnovers' or tarts, in addition to strudels. When using blackberries (I've also used blueberries), I usually cook them on the stove briefly, making a thickened sauce first (add a dash of sugar, some cinnamon, a squeeze of lemon, and thicken w/arrowroot or cornstarch in a little water). Then I use this filling to create the individual tarts or strudels. Keep in mind that you will want to roll the dough loosely to give the filling room to expand while baking (otherwise they may 'burst' open!). Hope this helps!
