Easy Cherry Puff Pastry Tart

• 2 cups cherries, pitted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 piece thawed puff pastry, around 6x10 inches
• 1 piece egg, lightly beaten

1. To prepare filling, combine the cherries, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan over medium-low heat and cook for 10 minutes.
2. Mix cornstarch and a tablespoon of water into paste. Add the mixture to the cherries. Keep cooking until it thickens. Allow the cherry filling to cool to room temperature.
3. Preheat oven to 400F.
4. Roll the puff pastry to enlarge it a little bit. Spoon the cherry mixture on top of the puff pastry sheet, leaving one inch boarder. Roll the boarders inward to create a dent.
5. Brush the pie with the beaten egg.
6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until pastry puffs up and turns golden brown.
7. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Or sprinkle some icing sugar and serve it plain.
