Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry
- 2 pears, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). On a floured surface, gently roll out the thawed puff pastry to eliminate any folds. Carefully score a rectangular border within the dough without cutting all the way through, which will help contain the filling.
- 2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Combine the melted butter with brown sugar, minced ginger, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, stirring well to mix.
- 3. Using a pastry brush, spread the butter-sugar mixture within the scored rectangle on the puff pastry, saving some of the mixture for later use.
- 4. Core and thinly slice the pears, then toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning. Arrange these slices neatly on the pastry, within the buttered rectangle. Brush the tops of the pear slices with the remaining butter-sugar mixture.
- 5. Pinch the edges of the dough around the tart to form a raised border. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes, until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown, and the edges are crispy.
