Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of fresh cherries, pitted and halved
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
1 teaspoon of almond extract
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
1 egg (for egg wash)
A pinch of salt
Optional: Chopped almonds or slivered almonds
Optional: Powdered sugar for serving
Optional: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Special Garnish: Fresh mint leaves
Special Garnish: Drizzle of honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, toss together your pitted cherries, sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, lemon juice, and salt. Let this sit for about 10 minutes.
Roll out the pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your puff pastry sheet into a rough circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space around the edges.
Spoon the cherry mixture into the center of the pastry, leaving a generous 2-inch border.
Fold the edges of the pastry over the cherry filling, pleating it as you go.
Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
Bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve with your desired garnishes.
