Easy Cherry Puff Pastry Tart

Recipe Description

This is an Easy Cherry Puff Pastry Tart which you can whip up and bake in under an hour. I love cherries and this simple tart showcases them in all their glory. This is a must bake when cherries are in season – you will love it!

Start preparing the filling by combining cherries, sugar and water in a saucepan and cook for 10 minutes. Allow the cherry filling to cool down until it reaches room temperature. Spoon cherry filling on top of the puff pastry, Roll the edges to create a wall around the edges. Brush with egg and bake until pastry puffs and turns golden brown. I like to serve this tart with ice cream or whipped cream.

Not my personal favorite I think the strawberry poptarts were a lot tastier and not so bitter compared to this dessert.
