Ingredients
4 fresh peaches, sliced thinly
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 sheet refrigerated puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons decorative sugar
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with light brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the peach slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the pastry up and over the fruit, pleating the dough as you go to create a rustic, free-form shape.
Brush the edges of the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle the decorative sugar over the crust.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Keep the puff pastry cool for easier handling during assembly. If the dough gets too soft while working, pop it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking to ensure a flakier crust. Serve warm for the best experience.
