Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar You can adjust based on sweetness preference.
- 1 tbsp lemon juice Freshly squeezed gives the best flavor.
- 1 tsp lemon zest Grate the peel of a lemon.
- 1 pkg refrigerated pie crusts Two crusts needed for the turnovers.
- 1 egg egg, beaten For egg wash.
- 1 tbsp sugar For sprinkling on top.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Start by combining the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl. Gently stir to coat the berries with the sweet mixture and set aside.
- Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and cut them into circles or squares, depending on your preference. Aim for about 4-5 inches in diameter or square.
- Place a spoonful of the blueberry mixture in the center of each crust piece. Fold the dough over to create a pocket and crimp the edges to seal them tightly.
- Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the additional sugar for a bit of sweetness and crunch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Once done, let them cool slightly before serving to enjoy the delicious flavors!
Notes
These turnovers are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for a couple of days.
