Cherry Almond Hand Pies

Ingredients

1 package puffed pastry (thawed)
1 pound fresh cherries, pitted
1 can of almond pastry filling
1 cup sliced almonds
¼ cup butter
Turbinado sugar

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 400° F. Thaw puff pastry. While the pastry is thawing, wash cherries and discard pits. Once the pastry is to room temperature, roll out one sheet and cut into quarters, creating four squares. Spread a thin layer of almond pastry filling in the middle of each square. Add a scoop of cherries and sprinkle with almonds. Carefully fold two opposite corners of each pastry piece together to form a triangle and press edges together. Brush with butter. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place hand pies two inches apart and bake for 15-20 minutes.
