1- Preheat the Oven:

- In a medium pan over medium heat, melt the butter.

- Place the turnovers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
5- Bake:
- Bake the turnovers in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Cooking Tips
- Ensure the fruit filling is cooled before assembling the turnovers to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
- Sealing the edges well with a fork ensures the filling doesn’t leak out during baking.
- For extra crispiness, chill the assembled turnovers in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before baking.
