Mix 8 ounces of mascarpone, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until combined.

Chill the mascarpone mixture until ready to fill the pastry.

Remove the pits from 20 cherries using a wet paper towel for your hands.

Slice and chop 1 granny smith apple.

In a pot, combine the chopped apple, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup cornflour to thicken the filling.

Add a handful of cranberries to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook until the apples are soft, then let it cool.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out a sheet of puff pastry and cut it into squares, keeping the pastry moistened with paper towels.

Fold each square into a triangle, making cuts on both sides without connecting them.

Fold over the cut sides to create a kite shape.

Add a spoonful of the chilled mascarpone mixture and top with a spoonful of the fruit compote.

Brush the pastries with an egg wash.

Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
