Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 4 medium Fresh peaches
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.
Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and slice them thinly.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, almond extract, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the peaches evenly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet to a 12-inch square.
Cut each sheet into four equal squares, giving you a total of eight squares.
Place a portion of the peach mixture in the center of each square, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash, then fold each square into a triangle, enclosing the peach filling.
Press the edges with a fork to seal and transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the pastries with more egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Allow the pastries to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
