Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 sheet (14 oz) puff pastry into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, toss 2 cups pitted cherries with 1/2 cup sliced almonds, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread the cherry mixture in the center of the puff pastry, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the pastry edges over the filling, pleating as you go.
  4. Step 4: Brush the folded pastry edge with 1 beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 tbsp coarse sugar. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and filling is bubbling.
