Ingredients

  • 1 bartlett pear, peeled & cored (about 8 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch ground nutmeg
  • pinch ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (or almond extract)
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • turbinado sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.  Place the grate in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cut the pear into small thin slices. In a medium bowl, combine with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, chopped cranberries, and vanilla extract. Set aside.

  3. Lightly roll out the puff pastry so that it forms a 10.5-inch square. Cut it into four equal squares.

  4. Spoon one-quarter of the pear mixture into each square. Fold each square corner-to-corner so that it forms a triangle. With wet fingertips, pinch the dough together to seal while pressing the edges with the tines of a fork. Place the formed turnovers on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Brush the tops of each triangle with the beaten egg. Sprinkle each turnover with turbinado sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until golden.
