Ingredients:

  • 4 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated in the sugar mixture. Set aside while you prepare the puff pastry.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle, approximately 10×15 inches in size.
  4. Transfer the rolled-out puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Arrange the sliced peaches in a single layer over the puff pastry, leaving a border of about 1 inch around the edges.
  6. Fold the edges of the puff pastry up and over the peaches, creating a rustic crust around the edges. Press gently to seal any seams.
  7. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg, using a pastry brush.
  8. If desired, sprinkle the edges of the puff pastry with turbinado sugar for added sweetness and texture.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the peaches are tender and bubbling.
  10. Remove the Peach Puff Pastry Bake from the oven and let it cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  11. Serve warm slices of the Peach Puff Pastry Bake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
  12. Enjoy the heavenly combination of flaky pastry and juicy peaches, savoring the flavors of summer with every bite!
