Indulge in the sweet and tangy flavors of quince with these decadent puff pastry squares. The flaky pastry pairs perfectly with the caramelized quince filling, creating a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 quinces, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the quinces, sugar, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the quinces are tender and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into squares. Place a spoonful of the quince mixture in the center of each square.
  4. Fold the corners of the pastry squares over the quince filling, creating a square shape. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
  5. Bake the puff pastry squares for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  6. Let the squares cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
