Canned fruit is often more affordable and has a longer shelf life.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Cut the pastry into squares or circles, about 4 inches wide.

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.

Top the cream cheese with a mix of fresh fruits.

Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket, sealing with a fork.

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Mix powdered sugar with a splash of milk to create a glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the pastries before serving.
