Ingredients for Banana Purse In Puff Pastry

  • Maple Syrup
  • Frozen Puff Pastry
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon milk

How to Make Banana Purse In Puff Pastry

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Stir in the maple syrup until well combined.
  3. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the sheet in half lengthwise.
  4. Using a rolling pin, gently roll each half into a 15x5-inch rectangle.
  5. Cut each rectangle crosswise into thirds, creating 6 squares.
  6. Spoon a generous amount of the banana mixture onto the center of each square. Top with banana slices, if desired.
  7. Fold the corners of each pastry square to the center, meeting at the top. Pinch the corners together firmly and twist to seal.
  8. Arrange the pastries on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the pastries with milk and sprinkle evenly with sugar and cinnamon.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
