Watch the demo to see how to make this type of recipe, then consult your recipe for specific instructions.

Tip

Place Puff Pastry shells on ungreased baking sheets with “top” facing up. Place pastry shells about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.

To ensure that Puff Pastry shells will rise evenly, score the sides horizontally with a small knife.

Unfilled baked Puff Pastry shells may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Always bake Puff Pastry shells in a preheated 425°F oven. Do not bake shells in a microwave or a toaster oven.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 pkg. (about 16 ounces) frozen peach slices

  • 1/4 cup (2 fluid ounces) dark spiced rum

  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
