Ingredients
- 500 grams ready-rolled puff pastry
- 3 medium fresh peaches
- 50 grams ground almonds
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 30 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 0 flour, for dusting
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 3
Cut the pastry into 8 equal rectangles and place them on the prepared baking tray.
Step 4
Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and cut them into thin slices. Set aside.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the ground almonds, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 6
Spoon about a tablespoon of the almond mixture into the center of each pastry rectangle and spread it out, leaving about a 1/2-inch border clear at the edges.
Step 7
Arrange the peach slices over the almond mixture attractively.
Step 8
Brush the edges of the pastries with the beaten egg to achieve a golden brown finish when baked.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the peaches are tender.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
