Ingredients
- 1 package frozen puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
- 2 (26 ounce) jars apricot halves, drained
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Thaw puff pastry for 30 minutes or according to directions on box.

- When pastry is thawed, put each sheet on a lightly floured surface and roll out to extend each side by approximately 1/2 inch. Cut each sheet into eight rectangles to make 16 total.
