Blueberry Turnovers - easy brunch dessert idea that everyone will love! Flaky, crispy pastry filled with blueberries and creamy lemon filling.
Pie filling is perfect for quick dessert ideas, like my Strawberry Pie Crumb Bars or Mini Lemon Pies.
Freshly baked, flaky pastry filled with a delicious blueberry filling with an addition of cream cheese. Gentle dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. Served for a Spring brunch on a table dressed with fresh flowers. That's what enjoying this season is about.
For this recipe, I used blueberry pie filling. I love using pie fillings in baked treats besides pies! The addition of cream cheese and lemon zest cut the sweetness and add fresh flavors to these turnovers.

What a fantastic idea. I always buy cherry pie filling. Next time... it's going to be blueberry. 🙂

Oh goodness, you still have snow?? I'm sending as many warm and sunny thoughts your way as I can! It's been 70-80° where I live for the past few weeks. It's been glorious, and I've basically forgotten winter existed. Pure bliss. 🙂 As are your turnovers -- my family would polish them off in a heartbeat!
