Korean Yuzu Turnover Pie. It's a delicious puff pastry filled with korean yuja jam. 4 ingredients and only 30 minutes! Perfect for dessert for yourself or to easily impress guests!
This yuzu lemon pie really easy to make and takes about 20 minutes in the oven to bake! It's one of my favourite pastries ever thanks to the flakey puff pastry and the soft sweet yuzu jam!
I came across this pastry when I was shopping at my Korean grocery store called H-Mart and I saw this turnover pie that looked like an apple turnover but was called Yuzu pie. So I decided to recreate at home and my yuzu pie recipe turned out to be a success!
The yuzu flavour is so lovely paired with the flakey puff pastry. So of course I had to share this yuzu pie recipe here so you can try making your own Yuzu Pie at home!

What's a yuzu?
Yuzu fruit (Citrus junos) is a hybrid citrus fruit also known as yuja. It originated in China over 1,000 years ago and now grows in Japan, Korea, and other parts of the world.
It's a small fruit with a diameter of 2–3 inches (5.5–7.5 cm). It has a relatively thick yellow skin. It's also more aromatic and much sourer than other citrus fruits.
Where can I purchase Yuzu jam?
It can be purchased at any Korean grocer like H-Mart.

This pie was sooo easy to make and it was DELICIOUS! Super easy and only took 4 ingredients. Can't beat that.
I love coming to your blog and seeing all of your Asian delicacies, Christie! These look so flaky and delicious!
I have 1 more roll of phyllo dough and I wonder if it would work for these! Thank you for sharing what Yuzu is! It was interesting to read 🙂
Thanks Rosemary! Good question. Since the jam is liquidy it may soak through the phyllo dough and cause for it to get soggy. I would suggest to use puff pastry for this recipe.
These yuzu hand pies look so tasty, Christie! I love yuzu jam -- such a treat!
