Cherry Turnovers

8 frozen phyllo dough sheets, thawed
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
6 Tablespoons no−sugar−added black cherry fruit spread
1 1/2 tablespoons cherry liqueur (optional)
1 egg
1 teaspoon cold water
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush each phyllo sheet with butter; stack. Cut through all sheets to form
six (5−inch) squares. Combine fruit spread and cherry liqueur, if desired. Place 1 tablespoon fruit spread mixture in
center of each pile of eight phyllo squares; brush edges of phyllo with butter. Fold edges over to form triangle;
gently press edges together to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Beat together egg and water; brush over phyllo
triangles. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
