Fun with Puff Pastry
I bought a box of puff pastry last time I was at the grocery store. Puff pastry has to be my most favourite cheat right now. Whenever I am craving something rich and baked, only puff pastry will do.
The first creation is made with an apple pie filling. I modified the recipe from the back of the box.
The second creation was made with pears that were on their way out. They were a little too ripe and therefore too runny. I think it would have tasted better if the pears weren't so ripe. All in all a nice treat.
Nutritionally redeeming qualities? Not too many, but they are made with fresh fruit. Well, in the case of the pears, not so fresh fruit.

You know everything you eat doesn't have to be nutritious ... you are allowed to cheat!! I am sure you are enjoying your "alone" time this weekend. Talk to you soon, those treats look really yummy.

Melissa, you're Canadian right? I use the PC brand - there don't seem to be any animal products in it.
Hi Nancy - I used PC puff pastry, I'm pretty sure it is vegan.
Hi Jewell - Yes, we had a good weekend alone, even though we were sick. We didn't get to do as much as we wanted to.
Hi Vicki - I'm not sure what kind of squares I'm using. I prefer to cut the pastry into smaller squares and fold them in half into triangles, I find they get more puffy that way.
Megan - you're right, the puff pastry does make it taste fancy.
