Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these peachy delights. Each ingredient plays a key role in bringing out the perfect balance of flavors and textures.

  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

The secret to a wholesome crust that’s perfectly tender.

  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder

Helps the dough rise for a light and airy texture.

  • 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

Adds moisture and creates a tangy, soft dough.

  • 3 Tbsp white sugar

A touch of sweetness to enhance the natural flavors.

  • 3 peaches, diced

The star of the show, fresh peaches provide a juicy, fruity filling.

  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Adds a warm, spicy kick.

  • 2 tsp stevia

A calorie-conscious way to amp up the sweetness.

  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice

Balances the sweetness and keeps the peaches bright.

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Thickens the filling for a gooey, irresistible center.

  • 1 egg white

For a beautiful, glossy finish on the crust.

Tip

If peaches aren’t in season, canned or frozen peaches also do the trick!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

  • Dice the peaches and combine them with cinnamon, stevia, and lemon juice in a saucepan.
  • Heat on medium until the peaches soften and release their juices, then stir in the cornstarch.
  • Set the filling aside to cool as you prepare the dough.

2. Make the Dough

  • Mix flour, baking powder, 2 Tbsp of sugar, and yogurt in a large bowl.
  • Stir until the ingredients form a pliable dough.

3. Roll and Shape

  • Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough to a thickness of ¼–½ inch.
  • Use a cup or cutter to create circles from the dough.

4. Fill and Seal

  • Place a teaspoon of peach filling in the center of each dough circle.
  • Fold the circles in half and press around the edges with a fork to seal.

5. Finishing Touches

  • Brush each turnover with the egg white.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining sugar for that golden, sweet crust.

6. Bake to Perfection

  • Bake at 400°F for 18–20 minutes or until the turnovers are golden brown.
  • Cool slightly before serving and enjoying their peachy perfection.

Your kitchen will smell heavenly by now!

Tips and Variations

  • Make It Your Own

Try swapping peaches for apples, pears, or even mixed berries for a twist!

  • Add a Crunch

Sprinkle chopped nuts, like almonds or pecans, into the filling for an added layer of texture.

  • Make It Vegan

Substitute yogurt with a plant-based alternative, use coconut sugar, and skip the egg wash for a fully vegan treat.

  • Serve with Style

Pair with a dollop of vanilla yogurt or a scoop of sugar-free ice cream for an indulgent touch.
