Prep Time: 20 min
Bake Time: 50 min
Ingredients
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tbsp Longo’s Organic All Purpose Flour
2 tsp Longo’s Essentials Ground Cinnamon
2 tsp Longo’s Essentials Ground Ginger
1/2 tsp Longo’s Essentials Ground Nutmeg
Pinch salt
8 cups chopped, peeled Ontario pears (about 8 large, ripe pears)
6 tbsp Longo’s Country Churned Salted Butter, melted and divided
1 sheet Longo’s Puff Pastry (half a 450g pkg), thawed according to package directions
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Directions
Blend brown sugar with flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt until well combined; sprinkle over pears. Drizzle with 4 tbsp melted butter and gently toss to coat. Transfer to a buttered 7 x 11-inch baking dish.
Unroll pastry sheet and cut into squares roughly 1 1/2 inches in diameter (they don't have to be perfectly even). Arrange pastry squares over pears, overlapping slightly but allowing gaps. Brush pastry with remaining butter.
Bake in preheated 425°F oven for 25 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 325°F and continue to bake for 25 to 30 minutes more or until pears are tender and juices are thick and bubbling.
Remove from oven; gently press pastry into juices (but do not submerge). Cool for 15 minutes before serving with ice cream, if using.
