Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
  • 3 cups pears about 4 small, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • Egg wash or vegan egg wash
  • Turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400℉.
  • Add the pears, sugar, and cinnamon to a bowl and mix well to combine. Set aside.
  • Slightly flatten the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 9 squares.
  • Place the pastry squares on a lined baking sheet.
  • Using a paring knife, lightly score a rectangle around the center of each pastry, about 1/2-1 cm from the edge.
  • Lightly poke the middle of the pastry with a fork.
  • Brush the egg wash around the edges of the pastry before layering 4-5 slice of pear to the middle of each tart.
  • Sprinkle turbinado sugar around the edges of the tart and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

For the vegan egg wash, combine 1 tbsp maple syrup with 1 tbsp milk and mix well. Use as directed.
