Thanks Dixie Crystals,Anolon and Melissa’s Produce for being delicious Spring Sweets Week Event Sponsors for this dish!
Frozen puff pastry sheets make this dessert so easy. Thaw according to package directions.
Mincing fresh ginger blends better into the filling. Butterscotch Pears take a bit longer to cook than apples do to cook.
Remember to cool the filling completely before adding to the pastry squares.

Close the edges with a fork. Slicing small holes in the top allows steam to escape and keeps the pastry flaky.
Brush with egg wash to add shine!

A drizzle of glaze is a must!
