Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Peach Puff Pastry
- Drain the canned peach slices thoroughly to prevent sogginess. In a bowl, mix with cornstarch, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into four rectangles, approximately 4x6 inches each.
- Spoon filling onto half of each rectangle, fold over, and press to seal. Crimp edges with a fork.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Whisk egg with water for the wash and brush it over the pastries.
- Place pastries on a baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving, warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Ensure peaches are well drained to avoid sogginess. Experiment with different fruit fillings for variety.
