Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the sliced bananas, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Gently toss until the bananas are evenly coated.
Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it’s smooth and even. Cut the pastry into squares (approximately 4×4 inches).
Fill the Pastry: Place a spoonful of the banana mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Fold and Seal: Fold each pastry square over to create a triangle, enclosing the banana filling. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Brush with Egg Wash: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the banana turnovers to cool slightly on a wire rack. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Banana Turnovers! They make a wonderful dessert or snack, especially when served warm.
