Description

A delightful treat featuring sweet cherry filling wrapped in flaky puff pastry, perfect for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of puff pastry
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar (for drizzling)
  • Vanilla extract (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 4-inch squares.
  3. Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center of each square.
  4. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a diamond shape and pinch the edges to seal.
  5. Brush the tops with a beaten egg.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Let cool and drizzle with a mixture of powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

Notes

Ensure puff pastry is cold before rolling. You can add milk to the egg wash for a shiny finish.
