Easy and Delicious Almond Pastry

This Easy and Delicious Almond Pastry is today’s creation. I was going through what I had made and shown you already, and I noticed that I didn’t make an almond pastry, even though almonds are my favorite nut. However, I did make some desserts with my second favorite nut, like the Pistachio and Pear Cake with Domes, Pistachio, and Ricotta Cake.

So I decided, along with almonds, to use another very common ingredient that I use: puff pastry sheet (which I keep frozen in my freezer). And I thought of using them in the easiest way possible. 

Everyone who had this dessert loved it.  Easy and Delicious Almond Pastry would be a perfect Thanksgiving dessert if you need to bring a dish somewhere.
