Ingredients

Product	amount
yeast-free puff pastry	450 g
fresh apricots	5-6 pcs.
egg	1 PC.
sugar	50 g
table powder	50-70 g
powdered sugar	2-3 tbsp. l

Step cooking

1. We take 450 grams of puff yeast-free dough from the freezer, we take it out of the package. Leave for 30-40 minutes at room temperature in order to defrost.
   
2. After this time, when the dough has completely thawed, sprinkle flour on the kitchen table or cutting board, and begin to roll out the dough with a rolling pin. We roll out a rectangular shape to a thickness of 3-4 mm.
   
3. Then we take a knife and cut from it the same size triangles, the upper part of which will be somewhere 5-7 cm.
   
4. Wash my apricots under running water, divide into halves, remove the bone. In each of the formed triangles from the wide edge, pour half a teaspoon of granulated sugar, level it and place the apricot half on top.
   
5. Stretch the edges of the triangle a little, twist it in the form of a bagel from a wide edge to a narrow one, press the edges well with your fingers so that when baking the filling does not go anywhere. Apricot juice will remain inside, croissants will be juicy.
   
6. We heat the oven to two hundred degrees, cover the baking sheet with food parchment. When all the croissants are formed, put them on a baking sheet covered with food paper.
   
7. We drive one egg into a separate container, beat it well with a whisk, and use a kitchen brush to grease the surface of the croissants with this mixture.
   
8. We send the baking tray with croissants to the oven preheated to 200 degrees, bake until golden brown.
   
9. After they have acquired a golden color, we take them out of the oven, let them cool slightly, before serving, you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar.

• Before using any fruit for baking, wash it thoroughly under a tap, make sure that there is no moisture and the fruit is dry, since moisture will affect the quality of baking from the negative side.
