There are 2 pastry sheets in each box. Unfold one sheet and cut it into fourths. Each square will make one turnover.  Repeat with the second pastry sheet.

Fold Over

With a pastry brush (or your fingers) , brush some water on two edges of the pastry for a "glue" - like seal.  Fold over each little square to form a triangle.

Seal Turnover

Use a fork to seal the edges tight so the pie filling will not ooze out while baking.

Vent

Cut three vent holes in the middle of the pastry. Don't go all the way through, only pierce the top layer of the pastry.

Position on Cookie Sheet

Place the turnovers on the parchment lined cookie sheet and leave about 1" margin between them.

Repeat the process using the second box of Puff Pastry.  When making 16 turnovers with two boxesof Puff Pastry, the whole can of pie filling will be used up - just the perfect amount.

Transfer to racks to cool completely before adding glaze.

Making the Glaze

Glaze:  fill a small bowl 1/2 full of powdered sugar.  Add scant (a teaspoon at a time) of water or Rice Dream or Soy Milk or Almond Milk and stir.  You must pay attention to the consistancy of the glaze - just a little bit of liquid will be needed.  It should be a little thicker than the consistancy of honey.  More liquid, to make it thinner  and more sugar to make it thicker.

Drizzle Glaze

Yum!
