1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed) Ensure they are pliable.
2 cups fresh fruit (e.g., berries, apples, peaches) Use seasonal fruits for best flavor.
to taste sugar Adjust based on the sweetness of the fruit.
1 egg for egg wash Optional for a vegan version: use almond milk and maple syrup.
to taste powdered sugar For dusting before serving.

Gather all your ingredients. Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets until they are thin and even. Cut them into uniform shapes—squares, rectangles, or circles.

Place a small amount of fresh fruit onto one half of each pastry shape. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks. Sprinkle a little sugar over the fruit for added sweetness.
Fold the pastry over the fruit-filled half and gently press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for better sealing and decoration.

Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the pastries generously with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the pastries onto it, spacing them appropriately.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
Once baked, let the pastries cool on a wire rack for a few minutes, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

For variety, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the sugar or incorporating chopped nuts into the filling. Can be made ahead and stored properly.
