Two factors gave birth to this cute recipe: I received green apples that looked at me questioningly, and I came back from the supermarket with beautiful and fragrant nectarines, which I didn’t have the heart to leave behind.
We already have a selection of fruit recipes on the blog: Apple Cake Topped With Vegan Sour Cream, Apple Tart With Pastry Cream, Nectarine Pie, and recently added – a Nectarine Flan; it was just natural to try a different direction.
I didn’t have to think twice: puff pastry pockets! Some filled with apples and some with nectarines.
We have here a super easy recipe – using puff pastry squares.
Serve warm with or without vanilla ice cream – and enjoy in any weather.
Enjoy and let me know how it turned out😋❣️
