Ingredients

• 2 sheets Vegan puff pastry sheets
• 4 medium Fresh peaches
• 60 grams Almond meal
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 30 grams Vegan butter
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 15 grams Powdered sugar
• 20 grams Slivered almonds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the vegan puff pastry sheets as per the package instructions until pliable but still cold.

Step 3

Slice the fresh peaches into thin wedges, removing the pits.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the almond meal with the granulated sugar.

Step 5

Add the vegan butter and almond extract to the almond meal mixture and mix until combined. This will create an almond paste.

Step 6

Roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly to eliminate any creases and cut each into 4 equal squares, yielding 8 pieces in total.

Step 7

Place the pastry squares on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Divide the almond paste mixture evenly among the puff pastry squares, spreading a thin layer in the center of each, leaving about a 1cm border around the edges.

Step 9

Arrange peach slices on top of the almond paste in a neat pattern.

Step 10

Brush the edges of the pastry with a little lemon juice to help achieve a golden brown finish.

Step 11

Sprinkle the slivered almonds over the peaches.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 14

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
