Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Peel, core, and dice the Bosc pears into small chunks and combine with butterscotch sauce, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Thaw the puff pastry and roll it out into a 10x10-inch square, then cut into four smaller squares.
  4. Place 2 tablespoons of the pear filling in the center of each pastry square.
  5. Brush the edges with water, fold diagonally to form triangles and seal the edges.
  6. Beat the egg with water to create an egg wash and brush the tops of the turnovers.
  7. Cut small slits in the tops for steam to escape and refrigerate the turnovers for 10 minutes.
  8. Bake the turnovers for 23-25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Cool for 10 minutes and serve warm, optionally with cream or vanilla ice cream.
