Ingredients

For the Caramelized Nuts

1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Pastry

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

Prepare the Caramelized Nuts

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture is bubbly and golden brown. Add the mixed nuts and stir to coat them evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the nuts are well coated. Remove from heat and let cool.

Prepare the Pastry

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into triangles.

Assemble the Triangles

Place a spoonful of the caramelized nuts in the center of each triangle. Fold the pastry over to create a triangle shape and seal the edges with a fork. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.

Bake

Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Serve

Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your delicious Caramelized Nut Corner Triangles!

Storage Tips

To keep your Caramelized Nut Corner Triangles fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within two to three days, but you can also freeze them for longer storage. If you choose to freeze them, make sure to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

When ready to enjoy, thaw the triangles at room temperature and reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness. This way, you can savor the delightful flavors and textures just as if they were freshly baked.

Serving Suggestions
