Giant Peach Turnover


This is basically a reinvention of the Giant Apple Turnover but with peaches…and pictures.

Ingredients:

1 uncooked pie crust or rolled out pie dough
3-4 peaches pitted and sliced
almond slivers (a few handfuls)

Orange blossom water (to taste)
room temperature butter
nutmeg
cinnamon
ginger

allspice

ground cloves
honey


Directions:

Mix peaches, almonds and orange blossom water together in a bowl and let them sit overnight.

Preheat oven to 385 F/ 196 C

On parchment paper (baking not documents) on a cookie sheet, unroll or roll out the crust.

With a butter knife, spread some butter on the dough, mostly in the middle.

Sprinkle a good dash of each spice; nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice.

Add the peach mixture

Add a tab or so of butter

Drizzle on the honey. (a liberal drizzle but don’t get carried away)

Fold (turn over) the dough in half so as to seal the dough. Pinch the dough around the semi-circle. It should look a bit like a
calzone.

Bake in the oven.

When/if juice begins to leak or ooze out of the dough, especially around the edges, use a pastry brush to apply the juice to the top of the turnover glazing the dough

Bake until brown.

Serve with vanilla ice cream.

And now for the photo montage…
