• 2 tablespoons melted butter

• ¼ cup white sugar

• 1 cup diced peaches (drained if using canned)

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• ½ cup powdered sugar

Directions

1. Preheat Oven

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit?

Yes, but thaw and drain it first to avoid excess moisture.

How far ahead can I prep these?

You can assemble and refrigerate overnight, then bake the next day.

What if I don’t have puff pastry?

Crescent roll dough is an alternative, though it yields a slightly different texture.

Is a glaze necessary?

No, it’s optional—but it adds a nice finish.

Can I freeze them?

Yes, freeze after baking and cooling. Reheat in the oven before serving.

How do I prevent leaking?

Make sure the filling is thick and don’t overfill the dough.

Can I make them smaller?

Yes, use a mini muffin tin and reduce baking time accordingly.

Can I add flavor to the glaze?

A pinch of cinnamon or citrus zest works beautifully.

What if my dough unravels?

Wrap it tighter and place seam-side down in the tin.

Do they keep well?

They’re best fresh but still tasty for up to 2 days if stored properly.
