Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 6 pears peeled cored and diced small
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1-2 tablespoons granulated white sugar for sprinkling
- 1 egg for brushing the pastry
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C and grease or line with parchment paper a large baking tray. Cut the pastry into 8 squares and arrange them on your baking tray. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- In a medium skillet set over medium to high heat, add the butter and brown sugar Stir until it starts to bubble and toss in the diced pears and cinnamon. Stir to coat all the pears.
- Reduce heat to low-medium, cover and leave to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pears should be soft and a nice golden brown colour.
- Remove from heat. Place a tablespoon of the pear mixture in the centre of each pastry square. Fold each pastry square over into a triangle and use your fingers to press the sides together. Brush the pastry with the egg, make slits in the top of the pastry and sprinkle with a little bit of sugar.
- Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes or until puffed and golden. Delicious straight out of the oven.
