My grandma makes these every year for the holidays. It's always handy to make extra for later snacking! They are relatively quick and easy to make and taste wonderful. I love the smell of these when they're in the oven.

HEAVENLY CINNAMON PECAN TURNOVER

Heavenly Cinnamon Pecan Turnover image

These turnovers taste like Christmas! I was trying for a cinnamon roll type flavor and ended up with a kind of Baklava- not that I'm complaining! I LOVE BAKLAVA! These are easy and so good. They are dangerous to have around because I know I won't want to share them!

1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 c chopped pecans
FOR GLAZE:
2/3 c powdered sugar
