Peach Puff Pastry Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
- 1 mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets thawed (Fancy, right?)
- 6 cups sliced peaches fresh or canned, drained—because we’re practical
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar because we’re classy like that
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter melted (because butter makes everything better)
Instructions
- Preheat that oven to 375°F (190°C)—we’re about to make magic happen!
- Unfold one of those puff pastry sheets and plop it into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Smooth it out like you’ve been doing this forever.
- In a big ol’ bowl, mix together your sliced peaches, sugars (plural, we’re fancy), cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Stir it all up and pretend you’re on a cooking show.
- Dump that peachy goodness over the puff pastry in the dish. Yes, we said dump—it’s in the name, after all.
- Unfold the second puff pastry sheet (seriously, how easy is this?) and lay it on top. Don’t worry if it looks a little rustic—people pay extra for that vibe.
- Brush the top with melted butter like you’re a kitchen artist.
- Pop it in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the peaches are so tender you want to dive right in.
- Let it cool slightly (if you can resist) before serving. Bask in the compliments and enjoy!
