Equipment

Materials

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
  • 1 egg
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 can cherry pie filling you will not need the entire can

Instructions

  • Thaw puff pastry according to package directions,
    Cut puff pastry into 6 equal-size rectangles.
    Poke holes with a fork in the center part of each piece. (This will help keep it from puffing up as much in the middle.)
  • Whisk together egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Brush top of puff pastry with egg wash.
  • Place 2 pieces of puff pastry in an air fryer basket that has been lightly sprayed with oil.
    Air fry at 380 degrees for 4 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, sugar, and almond extract until smooth. Set aside.
  • Use a fork to press down on the center part of the puff pastry until you get it fairly flat, leaving a border around the edges.
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on each one and top with 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling.
    Air fry for 3 minutes.
  • Repeat with 2 more batches.
