When Mansi announced the 'Peaches' event I did not have any recipe in my hand. The only way I've eaten a peach before is just as a fruit itself. When I googled I found many recipes. But I wanted something really simple as I was experimenting with this fruit. My searched continued and continued until the deadline and finally I found something in the last minute. The original recipe can be found here . I tweaked it a bit to suit my palatte. I did not follow the measurements given in the original recipe as I wanted to make just two pies to see how it turns out. So, without further adu let's go to the recipe.
Ingredients:
Puff pastry sheet - 1
peach- 1 (finely chopped)
slivered almonds- 1 tsp
caramel sauce- 2 tsp
Mixture of egg white and whole milk- 3 tsp each
granulated sugar- for dusting
Procedure:Thaw the pastry sheet as per the package directions. Unfold it on a lightly floured surface and level it using a rolling pin. Using a cookie cutter or a cup make 4 circles on the pastry sheet. Cut them out. Save the remaining sheet for later use. Line a plate with parchment paper and keep a circle of dough on it. Top with with some peaches and nuts. Then add 1 tsp caramel sauce. Cover it with another circle of dough. Seal the edges with some water and crimp it with a fork. Refrigerate it for 20 to 30 mins. Don't worry if the caramel has oozed out a little in this stage. Remove from the plate and apply egg wash on top. Then make an "x" mark on the top. Sprinkle with some granulated sugar.
Now heat oven to 400 deg and bake the pies for 15 to 20 mins. Warm pies are ready to be served with ice-cream. I did not have any ice-cream, so we enjoyed this warm dessert as it is with some powdered sugar and a drizzle of caramel on top.
Note: People who know me, must also know how scared I am to bake. But this one was pretty easy and yummy that even my hubby enjoyed it. You should try it too and you'll see what I mean. Still not convinced. How about another look?

Hi Suganya,
Thanks dear. I wanted to present it a little better. But my son did too much of caramel on the plate in the name of helping.
Hi Cinnamon,
I'm so glad to have you here. I've never made any sweet items with fruits using pastry sheet. But This one was so easy and it was really a melt in the mouth. It's nice of you to drop in a few words. Please keep visiting.
Hi Raks,
Glad you liked it dear. The caramel swrills were made by my son. I just wanted to make a few lines. But once he began he started lashing out the fork uncontrollably. Had to clean the table and floor. Happy to know that you enjoyed the meme too. Regarding the cookie monster...I'm not joking. It's so much true.
Hi ISG,
It's true. Both my hubby and me are not a great pie lovers. That's why I made just two for the event. But when we tasted it, it was gone in a flash and we wished we had more.
Hi Asha,
Thanks dear. Sure it turned out very good for the last minute effort. When I started with the recipe I thought maybe this would turn into a disaster and that I'll be sending it for the kitchen disaster tag. Luckily it turned great. Wish I had baked more.
Hi Sirisha,
That was so sweet of you dear to give me such words. I really don't no if I deserve it. But thanks anyway. You made my day.
You've been in Trichy? My hubby worked there for awhile.
Hi Lakshmi,
Thanks dear. I'm so happy that you liked it. Regarding the "impatient mom"...My son has some special needs. We are working hard to overcome that soon. There are a few things I know he can, but needs little more effort. When he fails to do it I get angry with him. That's why I wrote so. I just wish I had tons of patience.
Hi Mandira,
Anytime dear for you. Come on over and I'll make you some. Glad that you enjoyed it.
Hi Tbc,
Happy to know that you liked the dessert and meme. Hope I did not bore you.
Hi Seema,
Thanks dear. It's true. As you said the pies did disappear in a flash. Both my hubby and me wanted more.
Hi Laavanya,
Thanks dear for your generous words. That was so sweet of you. I'm not a big fan of peaches. But when I did this, I sure wanted to do it with apples,cinnamon and caramel the next time. When I saw the same in your comment I was happy that we thought alike.
Hi Padma,
Happy that you liked it. Wish I could share it with you if you lived closeby. Nice to know that you enjoyed the meme too.
Hi Sunita,
Thanks for those nice words. So, your a chocoholic too? Glad to have a partner in blogsphere.
Hi Pravs,
Glad you enjoyed it.Thanks.
Hi Mocha,

Hi Bee,
Thank you so much for your kind words. Glad you liked 'em.

Hi Mansi,
Actually it's me who has to thank you .If not for this event, I wouldn't have learnt to do anything with it other than eating it as such. So "Thanks" again. It was great to participate in it. Hugs for hosting this. :-)Can't wait for the round-up.
Hi Rajitha,
Thanks you so much dear. Actually, I owe you an apology. My hubby just called me up from the office and said that you had sent at email to his office address few days back. All of a sudden he remembered and told me. I'll check the mail today and respond back to you. Sorry and thanks dear. Also, I'm glad that you liked the pies.
Hi Usha,
That is such a sweet comment. Actually, the caramel lines were done by my son. I wanted to do just a few here and there. But he pitched in to help and made a mess. But I'm glad that many of you liked it.
Hi Rina,
Thanks for your sweet comment. I'm happy that you liked it.

Thanks a bunch dear. Glad you liked the pies and meme.
Hi Meeso,
I've just started experimenting puff pastry sweets. Usually I make only savory items. Gald you liked this.
Hi Richa,
I remember your peach apricot galette. As I was doing this I kept thinking about you as I know that you love peaches. Addition of walnuts is a good idea. will try it next time. Oops..I'm sorry that I forgot reading your meme.
