Ingredients
- 2 heets frozen puff pastry thawed
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/4 cup coarse sugar
- 1/2 cup pie filling of choice or diced fresh fruit
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the puff pastry sheets on a non stick surface such as parchment paper or a baking mat.
- Use a 4 inch round cookie cutter or drinking glass rim to cut 4 circles out of each sheet of pastry. See recipe notes for ideas on what to do with leftover pastry scraps!
- Using a small knife or a smaller cookie cutter, score a circle about 1/2 inch in from the edges of the pastry rounds.
- Use a fork to prick all over inside the smaller circle.
- Place the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in the bowl of a mixer. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Gently spread the cream cheese filling inside the smaller circle of each pastry round.
- Brush the edges of the pastries with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
- Cool, then spoon 1 tablespoon of pie filling into the center of each pastry. Serve.
Notes
- Don't throw away your puff pastry scraps! Brush the scraps with a little melted butter, then sprinkle on the seasonings of your choice and a some finely grated cheese. Twist the pastry into breadsticks and bake at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
