These pear tarts are quick and simple to make, yet yield a lovely, delicious treat. The beautiful presentation makes these perfect for entertaining–even my husband said they were elegant!
Pears are not necessarily a fruit of choice in our house, but the buttery filling and the cinnamon sugar really enhance the flavor. Puff pastry at room temperature is a little sticky and can be somewhat tricky to work with, but that is the only part of this recipe that takes much effort.
The recipe as written makes four tarts. We each had one so there were two left, and we found that they didn’t hold up well left over. The pastry got very soggy. It’s simple enough, however, to make just the amount you need.
I didn’t serve these with anything but coffee; however, we thought a scoop of good vanilla ice cream would be a great addition.
