Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 package (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed
  • 1 cup apricot preserves

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.  Stir the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.

  2. Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.  Roll the pastry sheet into a 16x8-inch rectangle.  Cut into 8 (4-inch) squares.  Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet.

  3. Spoon 1 tablespoon apricot preserves in the center of each pastry square. Using a sharp knife, cut diagonal lines from the corners of the pastry to within 3/4-inch of the preserves. Fold every other corner up over the preserves to the center, overlapping the points and pinching to seal.  Place the pastries onto a baking sheet.  Sprinkle with the cinnamon mixture.

  4. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.  Remove the pastries from the the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
