Peach-Vanilla Queenies
 
Makes 6
Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped peeled fresh peaches
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry (1 sheet), thawed
  • 8 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar, divided
  • 1 large egg, room temperature and lightly beaten
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, stir together peaches, granulated sugar, and vanilla; let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 6-well jumbo muffin pan with baking spray with flour.
  3. Drain peaches*.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 16x12-inch rectangle. Using a sharp knife, cut pastry into 12 (4-inch) squares. Place 1 tablespoon brown sugar each on 6 squares, spreading to edges. Place a heaping 1 tablespoon peaches in center of each pastry. Top with remaining 6 squares. Pick up each pastry, pinching and folding corners to center. Place in prepared muffin pan. Brush egg on each pastry. Sprinkle tops with remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
  5. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan for 2 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
*This peachy syrup would taste great with iced tea, sparkling water, or Champagne.
