Puff Pastry Braid

A constant favorite at our KOA campouts.  We bake it in a cardboard box oven,  great fun!  We actually use the restaurant supply size puff pastry, but that is a lot for a family.

Ingredients:

  • 1 17.3-ounce package Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed
  • 1 can  cherry, blueberry, peach, almond pie filling

Directions:

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Unfold the pastry sheet on the baking sheet.
  4.  Spoon pie filling lengthwise down the center of the pastry.
  5. Cut slits 1 inch apart from the 2 sides of the pastry rectangle to within 1/2 inch of the filling.
  6. Starting at one end, fold the pastry strips over the peach mixture, alternating sides, to cover the filling.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.  Let the pastry cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 20 minutes.(They never wait and they burn their tongues.)

Serves:  6
