Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup cherry pie filling
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares.
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spoon a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Top the cream cheese mixture with a tablespoon of cherry pie filling.
Fold the corners of each pastry square towards the center, overlapping slightly to enclose the filling.
Brush the pastries with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar if desired.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Make sure your puff pastry is fully thawed before you start, but keep it cool to maintain its structure.
Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pastries if you want to ensure they stay sealed during baking.
