Yield
1 (9-inch) tart
Ingredients
½ (17.3 ounce) package — frozen puff pastry, thawed
¼ cup — unsalted butter
⅓ cup — brown sugar
¼ teaspoon — ground cinnamon
1 pinch — ground nutmeg
¼ cup — maple syrup
4 — firm pears, peeled, cored, and halved, or more as needed
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Roll puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness; place in refrigerator.
- Melt butter in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; add brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir in maple syrup; cook and stir until begins to bubble. Remove skillet from heat.
- Place 1 pear half, cut-side up, into center of skillet. Cut remaining pear halves in half; arrange pear quarters around center pear, cut-sides up.
- Place skillet over medium-low heat; cook pears, basting with syrup mixture, until pears begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
- Place puff pastry over pears, tucking edges around pears in skillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Place a serving plate over skillet; carefully invert to release tart onto plate (skillet will still be hot). Serve warm.
