These tantalizing tartlets are the perfect level of sweetness thanks to fresh fruit being the star of the show. For the same splendor out of pear season, try stone fruits or apples!
Ingredients
- 1 sheet (12x18 inches) puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 2 red pears, halved and sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the puff pastry on a clean, lightly floured work surface. Cut into 4 rectangles (6x9 inches each), then gently transfer to prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla paste. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the top of the puff pastry with the butter mixture. Leaving a ½-inch border, fan ¼ of the pear slices on top of each puff pastry. Brush the top of the pastries with remaining butter mixture and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed around the edges and the pears are tender. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
