If you don\u2019t have cherry pie filling and want to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/apple-pie\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/apple-pie\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">apple<\/a>, blueberry or pumpkin instead, you can absolutely do so without changing the recipe\u00a0 much.<\/li>\n<li><b>Turn them into cheesecake:<\/b> If you like your cherry pies on the tangy side, try infusing a bit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-ever-cheesecake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-ever-cheesecake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cheesecake<\/a> flavor here. Instead of adding the cherry pie filling on its own scoop in some softened cream cheese too. The combination of the two will leave you with turnovers that taste like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cherry-cheesecake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cherry-cheesecake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cherry cheesecake<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Cherry Turnovers<\/h2>\n<p>You can store these cherry turnovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. They should last for three to five days if stored properly.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze cherry turnovers?<\/h3>\n<p>These treats are great for freezing! Simply follow the recipe as outlined and then let the turnovers cool down to room temperature. Once they\u2019ve cooled, transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover it. Place them in the freezer. Once the turnovers are frozen you can then transfer them to a zip-top bag and store in the freezer for one to two months.<\/p>\n<h2>Cherry Turnover Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2056836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Cherry-Turnovers_TOHD24_589_OrlyCatz6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Cherry Turnovers\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Orly Catz for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use puff pastry instead?<\/h3>\n<p>If you have puff pastry in your freezer and want to use that you absolutely can. Just be aware that the finished product might be puffier and flakier than if you were to use crescent rolls. Doesn&#8217;t sound like a bad idea to us.<\/p>\n<h3>If I want these turnovers to be extra flaky can I cook them in the air fryer?<\/h3>\n<p>You can definitely cook these cherry turnovers in the air fryer! Follow the instructions as outlined and instead of putting them in the oven, pop the uncooked turnovers in the freezer for about one hour. Putting them in the freezer first will help the dough and filling hold together a bit more, preventing anything from oozing out or falling apart. Transfer them to your air fryer basket and fry until golden once the turnovers are chilled.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the best way to prevent the cherry turnovers filling from oozing out?<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to prevent filling from oozing out is to seal the edges efficiently before baking. Be sure to scour the dough all the way around using the backside of a fork and pressing the top piece into the bottom piece without poking any holes. That way the dough will stick together when cooking without letting any filling seep out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whip up these effortless cherry turnovers with just four ingredients and 20 minutes.
