Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the puff pastry on the prepared sheet and score a 1-inch border around the edge.
