Mini Roasted Apple and Pear Tarts
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl combine brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Spread in a 13x9-inch baking pan. Top with apples and/or pears. Roast 15 minutes. Remove fruit. If desired, stir bourbon into sugar mixture in pan.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry and cut into nine 3-inch squares. Using a paring knife, make a shallow cut around each square 1/2 inch from the edges. Generously prick centers with a fork. Place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Press down centers with back of a spoon.
- Spoon apples and/or pears into centers of tarts. Drizzle fruit in each tart with 2 tsp. of the sugar mixture. Sprinkle with walnuts. Bake 7 to 10 minutes more or until pastry is light brown. Drizzle tarts with remaining sugar mixture and, if desired, sprinkle with salt.

These were delicious dessert bites-just the right size! I used a fuyu persimmon and pear mixture this time. I will try apple and pear next time. The sugar mixture was way more than needed, so I think I might try cutting it by half. It was quite fluid, so when I spooned it over the tarts, it spread everywhere. Thank goodness for the parchment paper! The salt flakes were a nice touch. It was a bit time-consuming, but well-worth it, and would make a nice do-ahead company dessert.
