Puff pastry pies with summer fruits - Sfogliatine ai frutti estivi – Pite od lisnatog tijesta s ljetnim voćem

After some time away from the kitchen and from the blog I ‘m back now! I’m starting slowly again with my usual kitchen activities and day after day things are going better and my mind is running through so many ideas. I don’t want to lose any moment and any new ingredient. I can’t stop doing something, or thinking about new things to do next. It seams crazy, but that’s it! This is me!

But I don’t want to exaggerate anyway, so let’s start with something easy, coloured and tasty, something full of summer flavours.
Again I have used ready puff pastry, my faithful fellow in tough moments….and a lot of fresh season fruits (I ate a lot of fruits while I was preparing these pies too!).

PUFF PASTRY PIES WITH SUMMER FRUITS 

1 roll of puff pastry

1 peach
2 apricots
1 apple
some strawberries
some cherries
corn flour
can sugar
minced cinnamon 
crumbled amaretti 
butter
1 egg for egg wash 
powdered vanilla sugar 

Wash the fruits, dry it off and cut pitted fruits into 5mm large slices.
Unroll the puff pastry, enlarge it a bit and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
Dust the center of each pastry piece with corn flour and sugar (and cinnamon if you will put apple slices on it).
Arrange the fruit slices on the corn flour and leave clear the pastry edges (1cm large).
Dust the fruits with sugar and peaches with crumbled amaretti.
Add some butter on top of the fruits and brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Dust the pies with powdered vanilla sugar.
