Ingredients

• 1 package puff pastry sheets
• 0.5 cup apricot preserves
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to an even thickness if it's not pre-rolled. Cut the pastry into 8 equal squares or rectangles.

Step 3

Place about 1 tablespoon of apricot preserves in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill to avoid spillage while baking.

Step 4

Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner. Gently press the edges together to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal and decorative touch.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash to promote golden browning during baking.

Step 6

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the pastries to cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 9

Optionally, dust the cooled pastries with powdered sugar for added sweetness before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Easy Apricot Pastries!
