3. Stir for 5–7 minutes until the fruit softens slightly and begins to release juices.
4. Add flour or cornstarch to thicken the mixture and stir until thickened.
5. Remove from heat, add vanilla, and allow it to cool completely.

3. Place 1–2 tbsp of the cooled filling in the center of each square.
4. Fold each square into a triangle or roll like a log (as shown in your image), sealing edges with a fork.
5. Brush each turnover with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
