Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Gluten-free puff pastry sheets
- 3 large Ripe peaches
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 30 grams Sliced almonds
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the gluten-free puff pastry from the package and let it thaw according to the package directions, usually about 5-10 minutes.
While the pastry is thawing, wash and slice the peaches into thin wedges, around 1/4-inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to make an almond filling.
Once the puff pastry is thawed, unfold it and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Roll it out slightly if needed to smooth any creases.
Evenly spread the almond filling over the puff pastry, leaving about a 1-inch border on all sides.
Arrange the peach slices evenly on top of the almond filling.
Melt the unsalted butter and brush it over the peach slices.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the peaches.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash to help it brown beautifully.
Bake the pastry in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the peaches are tender.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness.
