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
  • 4 tbsp icing sugar
  • ½ tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • ½ orange, juice only
  • 2 tbsp toasted almonds

Directions:

  • 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.
