Author: My Delicious Blog
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 4
- ¼ c. fig jam
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
- Dash pure vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1-2 ripe pears, sliced thinly (use the short cut, so they fit into the small pastry rounds)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine jam, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out thawed pastry to make it about 1-2” bigger than original size.
- Using a bowl or a large round cookie cutter, cut out 4 rounds (about 6") in the puff pastry.
- Place the pastry rounds on the parchment paper.
- Place a spoonful of fig mixture in the middle of each pastry round; spread within the middle, but leave about 1” uncovered all around the edges.
- Place a circle of pear slices on top of the fig mixture in each pastry round.
- Fold about 1" of the pastry edge toward the pears.
- Brush pastry edges with egg wash (egg beaten with 1 tsp. of water).
- Lightly sprinkle pears and pastry with a bit of sugar (optional).
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes, until the pastry is nicely browned.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 30 minutes before serving (Note: they taste best at room temperature).
