Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). It’s crucial to ensure that your oven reaches the right temperature for that tremendous golden crust.
-
Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface; this will make it easier to shape. Cut the pastry into squares, approximately 4×4 inches.
-
Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill; a little goes a long way towards avoiding messy pastries.
-
Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket. Pinch the seams to ensure they’re sealed well, preventing any filling from escaping during baking.
-
Brush the tops with beaten egg. This step is vital for achieving that shiny, golden finish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. The baking time may vary, so keep an eye on them to achieve that tremendous crispiness.
-
While the pastries are baking, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust the milk to get your desired glaze consistency.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the warm pastries before serving. This finishing touch adds a delightful sweetness that balances the tart cherries beautifully.
