Pear Puff Pastry Recipe

 Pear Puff Pastry is an elegant yet simple dessert that combines buttery puff pastry with tender, caramelized pears. The golden flaky layers cradle juicy slices of pear brushed with honey or maple syrup, making it perfect for a cozy evening or a festive dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

  • 2 ripe pears (Bosc or Bartlett), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or vanilla ice cream for serving

Cooking Time

  • Prep time: 10 minutes

  • Bake time: 20–25 minutes

  • Total time: 35 minutes

Serving

  • Makes 4 pastries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare Pears:

    In a bowl, toss pear slices with brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Let them sit for 5 minutes to release some juices.

  3. Prepare Pastry:

    Roll out the puff pastry slightly on a floured surface and cut it into 4 equal rectangles. Place them on the baking sheet.

  4. Assemble:

    Arrange pear slices neatly over each pastry rectangle, slightly overlapping. Leave a small border around the edges.

  5. Brush with Egg Wash:

    Beat the egg and brush the edges of the pastry for a golden finish.

  6. Bake:

    Bake for 20–25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and pears are tender.

  7. Finish:

    Drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup after baking. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips

  • Add a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or almonds for crunch.

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a café-style dessert.

  • You can also make one large tart instead of individual pastries by using the full sheet of puff pastry.
