Do you every use Pepperidge Farm’s Puff Pastry? It’s in the frozen section near the frozen desserts, etc. If you ever need to make a fancy meal or dessert you need to visit puffpastry.com. There are a million different ways to use it, and lots of the recipes are super easy.

Last Sunday we had the traditional Pig-Out Easter Breakfast Smorgasbord Potluck at church (after which we were all so sleepy that we didn’t really hear the sermon at all)
I took this No-Fuss Fruit Pie:

1 pkg. Pepperidge FarmĀ® Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets (2 sheets)
1 egg
1 tbsp. water
1 can or jar (21 oz.) fruit pie filling, any variety
(I also sprinkled the fruit pie filling with cinnamon and a little sugar)

THAW pastry sheets at room temperature 30 min. Preheat oven to 400F. Mix egg and water.

UNFOLD pastry sheets. Place 1 pastry sheet on baking sheet. Spread pie filling on pastry to within 1″ of edges. Brush edges with egg mixture. Place remaining pastry sheet over pie filling. Press edges together with fork to seal. Brush with egg mixture. Cut several 2″ slits in top of pastry.

BAKE 30 min. or until golden. Cool on baking sheet on wire rack at least 15 min. Cut into squares.

This recipe would be great for any meal. You could put it in the oven just as dinner is starting, and it would be ready to serve warm with ice cream for dessert!

By the way , the key to using their puff pastry is the thaw time. You will just break it if you try to unfold it before it’s completely thawed.

  1. YUMMY! I have never tried this, but I might have to now. It looks easy enough for my girls to do, too.

  2. Oh my goodness, that looks delicious! I’m going to have to copy that recipe down and make it for our next church get-together…
