Pear Turnovers

I made Pear turnover's for this month's AFAM. These are pear's wrapped in delicate layers of puff pastry along with some spices and baked till golden brown.

Ingredients:

1 Sheet Puff pastry thawed

2 medium pears, peeled and cut into thin slices

4 tbsp sugar

2 tsp All Purpose flour
1 tsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp ginger powder

Pinch of salt

1 Egg + 1tsp of water

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degree Farenheit.
• In a bowl, combine the pear slices with lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Beat the egg and water together to make eggwash.
• Cut the puff pastry sheet into 4 squares.
• Brush the edges of each square with egg wash and place about 1/4 of the pear mixture on one side of the square.
• Fold the pastry diagonally and seal the edges using a fork. Place these on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and brush the top with egg wash.
• Bake for 20 minutes or untill browned. Cool for 20 minutes and serve warm.
