Pear Tart Tatin- an irresistible French Classic that is superior in taste to a traditional pear or apple pie in my humble opinion! If you are using a store- bought puff pastry is relatively easy to put together!
1. Wash, peel, core and quarter your pears;
2. To make the caramel pour 1/2 cup water, sugar, butter and vanilla into a pan and cook until you have a dark caramel as you are constantly stirring; add 1/4 cup of water as needed;
3. Preheat oven to 350 F;
4. Toss pears into the caramel and arrange them on the pan as shown and cook in the oven for about 30 mins;
5. Roll and cut the pastry sheet a little bigger than your pan and top off the cooked pears; fold the edges in;
6. Bake on the bottom rack for about 35-40 mins or until golden;
7. Cool and flip; serve with vanilla ice-cream and enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving!
