Easy Peach Croissants with Ice Cream

This recipe works with apples, berries and more! You can put just about anything (Nutella, chocolate, peanut butter and jelly etc, fruit preserves) onto puff pastry and bake it and it will be good.

This in from a reader: spread some fruit preserves onto the defrosted puff pastry square before laying down your sliced fruit. So, if you are adding peaches, spread some peach preserves down first and then lay in your fruit slices for more flavor! Add the cinnamon sugar mixture, fold over to close, add egg wash and bake!

Ingredients

• 2 sheets frozen puff pastry defrosted and sliced into squares
• 3 to 4 ripe peaches sliced thin
• 2 to 3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 large egg for egg wash*
• Vanilla ice cream
• Nutella or caramel sauce optional for more sweetness

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the ripe peach in half and remove the pit. Slice each peach half into 6 to 7 slices (or less if you want thicker slices). In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.
• Working on a clean, flat surface, dust with a little all purpose flour. Roll out the puff pastry. Cut the puff pastry sheet in half vertically and then horizontally so you have 4 equal square pieces for each sheet.
• To make it easier: make the croissants on the prepped baking sheet so you don't have to transfer to the baking sheet later. Rotate a square so it looks like a diamond. Place about 4 peach slices in the center going down. Sprinkle some of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the peach slices and the puff pastry. Grab the side corners and bring them to the center, pinching them together to seal them. Repeat the process with each of the remaining squares.
• Brush each puff pastry with the egg wash. Bake for at least 25 to 30 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown.
• To serve: add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle melted chocolate hazelnut butter (Nutella) if desired and enjoy! You could also sprinkle more cinnamon sugar over the ice cream too!

Notes

*Egg wash can be just the egg beaten, or you can mix in 1 teaspoon of water
