Ingredients
- 1 package of puff pastry thawed in the refrigerator
- 2 pears any variety
Nut Free Frangipane
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup quick cooking oats
- 4 tablespoon room temperature butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
The glaze
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pre heat your oven to 375 degrees
- Take your pears and slice them into ¼ inch strips from the top to the bottom. Do not peel your pears.
- Continue slicing the pears all the way to the center core of the pear. If seeds are in your slices just gently remove them.
- Set your sliced pears aside.
- Grab a food processor.
- Add your flour and oats and blitz until it makes a smooth mixture and most of the oats are ground up.
- Now add your sugar, butter, egg and vanilla and mix on medium speed until it forms a creamy mixture.
- Set your frangipane aside.
- Grab your puff pastry and place on a lightly floured surface so it does not stick.
- Gently roll your puff pastry into a rectangle about 14x11 long.
- Transfer your puff pastry on to a parchment paper lined baking sheet
- Once your puff pastry is ready, spoon on your frangipane on to the puff pastry leaving about ¾ inch on all sides without the topping.
- Once all the frangipane is spooned on, spread it around evenly.
- Now begin placing your pear slices on top of your frangipane. Mix and match the orientation of the slices a bit to make it look more natural.
- Place in your pre-heated oven for 20 minutes.
- While your pastry is cooking, add your vanilla and honey to a sauce pan over medium low heat.
- Heat your honey mixture until it is thin and a good consistency to brush over top of the puff pastry.
- After 20 minutes, you should start to see your pastry browning and puffing up.
- Remove the pastry from the oven and begin brushing your pastry with the honey vanilla mixture.
- Once it is all coated (pastry and pears), place bak into your oven fro 10 minutes or until nice and golden brown.
- Serve immediately or store in an air tight container for up to 2 days.
