Directions
- Thaw pastry according to box instructions. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
- Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water and set aside. Cut Almond Paste in half. Grate halves separately (using large hole side of box grater). Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface unfold one pastry sheet. Roll out to 10" X 12". Spread 1/2 cup of jam to edges, leaving 1" of 12" side with no jam. Sprinkle 1/2 of Almond Paste onto jam.
- Starting on 12" side with jam (to edge), roll up like a jelly roll. Place seam side down and make 12-1" slices, wiping knife between cuts. Cover bottom of pinwheel by tucking one inch of dough underneath pastry. Place bottom on parchment. Repeat.
- Press down to slightly flatten. Brush with egg mixture and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned. Cool on wire rack. Serve slightly warm.
