On a floured surface, roll puff pastry dough out to approximately 16”x14”.

Spread cherries out on one side of the puff pastry.

Cut a handful of air vents out on the opposite side of the puff pastry using a cookie cutter.

Pick up the unfilled side of the puff pastry sheet and lay it over top the cherries enveloping them completely.

Pinch the edges tightly to close.

Brush the top of the pastry with melted butter, sprinkle with a bit of sugar and bake 20-25 minutes until bubbly and browned.
