Super Easy Pear Tart

This SUPER EASY Pear Tart has only 5 ingredients and is sure to please!

I have to tell you, I’m LOVING pears this year! I think they are this Fall’s Pumpkin. I’m just waiting for my Spiced Pear Latte from Starbucks to come out! :) I’m sure you’ve noticed an increase in pear recipes lately, and this is another favorite! This SUPER EASY Pear Tart is a winner! With only 5 ingredients, you can’t go wrong! I love to make this for a quick an easy breakfast, snack, or dessert. YUM!

I adapted the basics of this recipe from a downright beautiful blog, Fork Knife Swoon! I just love her photos. You can check out the original recipe HERE. All I did was strive to make it even easier…if that’s possible! I’m telling you, this is a simple one!

In looking at her ingredients, I noticed a lot of lovely spices. I did some research, and good ol’ Pumpkin Pie Spice contains almost all of them! I decided why not try the mixture with that instead and save some money (spices are so darn expensive!). I added pecans (optional) and made a few other tweaks, and this beauty was made. Whichever way you choose to make it…I am pretty confident you’re going to love it!

This Super Easy Pear Tart is the perfect easy treat for Autumn!

Packed with flavor from the fruit and baked to perfection, it’s a must for the season. Top with your favorite vanilla bean ice cream for an extra special treat! Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry dough thawed
• 3 pears thinly sliced lengthwise
• 2 tablespoons salted butter melted
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• pecans for garnish optional
• ice cream for garnish optional

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400F
• Lay your puff pastry sheet on a parchment lined baking sheet. Scour (cut a line) along the inside of the edge of the dough, about 1 inch in from the outside.
• Mix together the melted butter, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar. Using a pastry brush, brush the butter over the entire puff pastry sheet.
• Lay your pear slices into the middle of the puff pastry, slightly overlapping as you go. My tart was big enough to go three slices across and 7 slices down.
• Pour the remaining butter mixture over the pears and brush to cover.
• Sprinkle with pecans if desired.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes or until puff pastry is fully cooked and browned.
• Remove from oven and cut with pizza cutter into squares.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
• Serve with ice cream for an extra special treat!
• Enjoy!
