Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 3 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until well coated.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the peach mixture into the center, leaving a 1-2 inch border all around.
- Fold the edges of the pastry over the peaches, partially covering them.
- Brush the pastry edges with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
