Hi! My name is Amanda, and I am addicted to fruit! I love the stuff! I eat it by itself. I eat it frozen. I eat it in desserts, & with dinner. Really, I haven’t met a fruit I didn’t like! My girls are the same way. My oldest went with me to the store this week and we walked out with Plums, nectarines, blueberries, grapes, & bananas. We would have bought more, but I have to draw the line somewhere.
This dessert came to mind since the plums are in season and really affordable right now! This is so simple, yet ….elegant! You could serve this at a dinner party and impress everyone! You don’t have to tell them it only took you 5 minutes to make! Just grab some vanilla ice cream to serve on the side and you have some seriously happy guests, or family members! This came out of the oven and in 30 minutes it was gone! The entire thing. The vultures flew into the kitchen when they heard the buzzer. I had to fight them off for a piece. I am already getting requests for another.
Grab some plums and get baking!

Slice all three of the plums into thin pieces.
Lay them out onto the Puff pastry.
Take a butter knife and make an indention around the outside where the crust would be, being careful not to cut through the dough.
