How to Make Light Cherry Turnovers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or baking spray.
  3. Separate refrigerated biscuits (8 count) and gently flatten each into a 4-inch circle using a rolling pin or your hands.
  4. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling (or 3-4 fresh cherries, pitted) in the center of each biscuit circle.
  5. Bring the edges of the biscuit circle up and over the filling, pinching to seal and create a ball shape. You can crimp the edges for a decorative look.
  6. Place each turnover into the prepared muffin tin, seam-side down.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  8. Carefully remove the turnovers from the muffin tin and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
  9. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm. Enjoy!
