Description

A surprising and delightful dessert that combines juicy grapes with a flaky, buttery pastry crust, proving that grapes can shine in baked goods.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups seedless red grapes, halved
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss halved grapes with granulated sugar, lemon zest, and cinnamon until coated.
  3. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to a 10×12 inch rectangle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Arrange the grape mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Drizzle with melted butter.
  5. Fold the edges of the pastry over the grapes, crimping slightly to seal. Brush the edges with egg wash.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden brown and puffed. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm or at room temperature.
