Delightful cherry almond twists made with flaky puff pastry, perfect for any dessert table!

  • Total Time: 40

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling (or fresh cherries, pitted and chopped)
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to smooth it out. Cut the pastry into rectangles, about 3×5 inches.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cherry pie filling, sliced almonds, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix well.
  • Place a tablespoon of the cherry-almond mixture in the center of each rectangle. Fold the pastry over to create a triangle and press the edges to seal.
  • Twist each triangle a few times to create a spiral effect. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar for that extra crunch and shine.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Let them cool slightly before serving.
