Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen peaches, mostly thawed
- 1 puff pastry sheet
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
Fats:
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, ensuring they remain cool and intact.
- Create a luscious peach filling by gently sautéing sliced peaches in melted butter, incorporating brown sugar and fresh orange juice, cooking until the peaches become tender and caramelized.
- Cut the puff pastry into rectangular or triangular shapes, leaving enough space for the filling.
- Spoon the warm peach mixture onto one half of each pastry piece, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the pastry over the filling, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to create a tight seal and prevent leakage.
- Whisk an egg and gently brush the surface of each pastry to ensure a glossy, golden-brown finish.
- Transfer the prepared pastries to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow proper heat circulation.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until the pastries puff up and turn a rich, golden color with crisp edges.
- While cooling, whisk powdered sugar with a splash of orange juice to create a smooth, drizzling glaze.
- Once pastries have cooled slightly, artfully drizzle the citrusy glaze over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
Notes
- Ensure puff pastry is cold and firm before rolling to maintain flaky texture.
- Slice peaches uniformly for even cooking and consistent filling distribution.
- Drain excess liquid from peach mixture to prevent soggy pastry bottoms.
- Crimp pastry edges tightly with a fork to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
