Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets
- 0.5 cup apricot preserves
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to an even thickness if it's not pre-rolled. Cut the pastry into 8 equal squares or rectangles.
Place about 1 tablespoon of apricot preserves in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill to avoid spillage while baking.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner. Gently press the edges together to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal and decorative touch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash to promote golden browning during baking.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the pastries to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Optionally, dust the cooled pastries with powdered sugar for added sweetness before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Easy Apricot Pastries!
