Air fryer peach turnovers
Use your air fryer to make these peach turnovers, fragrant with dates, orange and rosemary. They’re a great little treat for any occasion, from breakfast to afternoon tea, a summer dinner or a picnic.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, stones removed, roughly chopped
- 4 dates, stones removed, roughly chopped
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves finely chopped
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 orange, grated zest and juice
- plain flour, for dusting
- 500g block readymade puff pastry
- 1 free-range egg, beaten
For the topping
- 4 tbsp icing sugar
- ½ tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- ½ orange, juice only
- 2 tbsp toasted almonds
Method
Put the peaches, dates, rosemary, a tablespoon of caster sugar, the orange juice and half the zest into a heatproof dish that fits into your air fryer.
Air-fry for 10 minutes, stirring a couple of times, until the peaches just start to break down. Set aside to cool.
Preheat the air fryer to 180C.
Once the filling is cool, lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry to make a square roughly 34x34cm/13½x13½in. Cut this into four smaller squares.
Spoon a quarter of the peach filling into the corner of each square. Brush the edges with beaten egg, then bring one corner over to meet the other, creating a triangle shape and covering the filling. Use a fork to press down and seal the edges.
Brush each turnover with beaten egg and sprinkle over the remaining caster sugar.
Air-fry for 10 minutes, then flip over and cook for a further 5 minutes.
While the turnovers are cooking, make the topping. Mix together the icing sugar, rosemary and about 2 teaspoons of the orange juice to make a thick smooth paste that you can drizzle.
Once the turnovers have cooled slightly, use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the topping over in thin lines. Scatter over the toasted almonds and serve.
Recipe Tips
The filling can be made in advance and kept in the fridge.
If you are short of time you can pop the filling into the freezer for 15 minutes to chill down faster.
If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook the turnovers in batches; pop the uncooked turnovers into the fridge until they are ready to cook.
