Cherry Almond Turnovers (only 5 ingredients)

Most of the time I’m all about making things from scratch, but every now and then I’ll pull out a box of some kind. We all need a super easy recipe for when we are craving a good sweet but are feeling too lazy for a bunch of prep sometimes. Plus, I thought I’d throw a recipe out there for your loved one to make you on Valentines day in case they don’t like to bake :).
These really couldn’t get any easier and they really do taste delicious! My husband came home from work and ate three within a number of minutes, then the next day came home asking for more.
My kids couldn’t get over them either. I think it’s the almond glaze that really takes them over the top. I love a little almond extract with fruit flavors like strawberry, raspberry or cherry.
If you’d like you can use another flavor of pie filling in place of the cherry, I would like to try strawberry or raspberry next time.
If you don’t want sixteen of these you can easily make half a batch, then just save your remaining pie filling to add to your morning oatmeal or something.
Enjoy!
