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!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 sheets puff pastry (1 box)
3 Tbsp butter, softened
2/3 c light brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 c chopped pecans
FOR GLAZE:
2/3 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with nonstick spray. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well and set aside.
  • 2. Unroll thawed pastry sheet and cut into fourths. Lightly butter inside of square of pastry dough being careful to leave an outside edge free so it will seal well (or just dollop a small amount of butter where you'll place filling.) Place 1-2 tbl. of sugar mixture into center of pastry. Place equal amount of chopped pecans on top of sugar. Wet fingers with water and dampen edges of dough. Fold dough over to form triangle and lightly press edges closed with a fork.

  • 4. Meanwhile, combine ingredients for glaze. Drizzle on cooled turnovers.
