Ingredients

  • 1 bartlett pear peeled and cored
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/16 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/16 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1 egg
  • turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400.
  • Cut the pear into small pieces and toss together with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and extract.
  • Roll out the puff pastry so it’s just a tad larger and forms a square.
  • Cut it into four squares and brush the sides with egg wash.
  • Spoon 1/4 of the pear mixture into each square.
  • Fold each square corner to corner so it forms a triangle and pinch the dough together to seal.
  • Place on a baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops of each triangle with the egg wash.
  • Sprinkle each turnover with turbinado/coarse sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, until golden.
