Ingredients:
- 1 Sheet of Puff Pastry (defrosted)
- 1-2 Peaches, sliced
- 2 tsp Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Brown Sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
For the Glaze (optional):
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1-2 tsp Milk
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Defrost the puff pastry sheet according to package instructions. Once defrosted, cut the sheet into 9 equal sections to form squares.
- Prepare the Peaches: In a small bowl, combine the sliced peaches with honey and vanilla extract. Gently toss to coat the peaches evenly with the honey mixture.
- Assemble the Danish: Place a few honey vanilla peach slices in the center of each puff pastry square. If desired, sprinkle a little brown sugar on top of the peaches for extra sweetness.
- Bake: Place the danishes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
- Cool and Glaze: Once baked, remove the danishes from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. If you'd like to add a glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled danishes.
Enjoy your honey and peach danishes, a sweet and easy treat!
