📝 Preparation Steps
1

2
Combine pears, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, dark brown sugar and flour in a large bowl.
orange zest2 teaspoonsflour2 tablespoons
3
Melt butter in a 10-inch oven-proof skillet and cook until it turns brown and smells nutty. Pour into the pear mixture and toss to combine, then transfer back to the skillet.
4
Arrange the puff pastry squares over the top to cover most, but not all of the filling. It's okay for parts of the pear mixture to poke through.
5
Brush the pastry with egg wash, then sprinkle lightly with coarse or granulated sugar.

6
Bake until puffed and golden, about ⏱️ 30 minutes. Pour heavy cream all over, then return to the oven for ⏱️ 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, then use a spoon to press the pieces of puff pastry down so the juices ooze over top. Place back in the oven for an additional ⏱️ 10-15 minutes or until the crust is crisp and very dark brown.
7
Let cool, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
