• 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought)
• 4-5 ripe apricots, halved and pitted
• ¼ cup apricot preserves or jam
• ¼ cup sliced almonds
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

 

Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Transfer it onto the prepared baking sheet.

 

Spread Jam: Spread the apricot preserves or jam evenly over the puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.

 

Arrange Apricots: Arrange the halved apricots on top of the jam in a decorative pattern. Press them slightly into the pastry.

 

Sprinkle Almonds: Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the apricots.

 

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.

 

Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
