Submitted by Pinay0618

"Amazingly easy recipe from Pepperidge Farms, perfect for a special breakfast in bed on a certain Sunday in May when you're supposed to spoil a specific someone special in your life. Not that I'm hinting at anything. ;) Prep time includes 40 minutes to thaw the puff pastry."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 20mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 (17 1/3 ounce) package pepperidge farm puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
• 1⁄2 cup canned almond filling
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

directions

1. Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they're easy to handle. Heat the oven to 400°F Stir the almond filling and cinnamon in a small bowl. Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each pastry sheet into 4 (about 5-inch) squares.
2. Spread 1 tablespoon almond mixture on each pastry square to within 1/4-inch of the edge. Fold the pastry squares over the filling to form a triangle. Starting at the wide end, roll up the pastry triangles toward the point. Place the pastries, point-side down, on a baking sheet. Curve the ends of the pastries inward to form a crescent shape. Brush with the egg.
3. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.

I thought these turned out really well! Saves me the trouble of going to a bakery and buying my favorite almond croissants. I didn't have almond paste so I used Food Processor Almond Paste from this site and it worked perfectly! I will make these often I'm sure!
