Description
These peach puff pastries are golden, flaky squares filled with cinnamon-spiced peaches. Quick and easy to make with store-bought puff pastry, they deliver a bakery-quality dessert in just 20 minutes—perfect for summer gatherings or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 medium peaches, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional, for brushing after baking)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss sliced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Let sit for 5–10 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry and cut into 6 equal squares.
- Place a few peach slices in the center of each square, leaving a small border.
- Brush the edges with beaten egg to promote golden browning.
- Transfer to prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–17 minutes, until puffed and golden.
- Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and optionally brush with melted butter.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Swap peaches with nectarines, plums, or apples for seasonal variations.
- Add chopped nuts or honey before baking for extra flavor and texture.
- Don’t overload pastries to avoid sogginess—drain excess peach juices.
- Reheat leftovers in oven at 300°F for 5–10 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Freeze extra peach filling for future use.
