Ingredients : Caramelized Pear & Apple Stacks W Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe
1/4 cup butter, unsalted
3 small sweet apples, peeled, cored,
1 . cut into thick slices
3 medium pears, peeled, cored, cut
1 . into thick slices
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 package frozen puff pastry, (one
1 . sheet from 17oz package),
1 . thawed
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
1 powdered sugar
1 vanilla ice cream
Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add apples,
pears, brown sugar and lemon juice and stir until fruit is tender and
brown sugar melts and thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove skillet from
heat and cool fruit mixture.
Preheat oven to 375øF. Roll out pastry on lightly floured surface to
15x12-inch rectangle. Using bottom of 4-inch diameter tartlet pan as
guide, cut out 4 pastry rounds. Transfer rounds to large baking
sheet. Pierce pastry all over with fork. Whisk egg and milk in bowl
to blend. Brush onto top of pastry rounds.
Bake pastry rounds until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer
baking sheet to rack. Using metal spatula, loosen pastries from baking
sheet. Cool completely. (Fruit mixture and pastries can be prepared 4
hours ahead. Cover separately and let stand at room temperature.)
Using serrated knife, split each pastry round horizontally in half,
creating 2 rounds. Place pastry bottoms on 4 plates. Spoon fruit
mixture over pastry bottoms, dividing equally. Dust pastry tops with
powdered sugar. Place atop fruit filling. Serve with vanilla ice
cream.
Makes 4 servings.
