There’s something magical about a warm, flaky Easy Pear Galette with its golden crust and the sweet aroma of pears and cinnamon. This simple yet elegant dessert is perfect for any occasion, bringing warmth and comfort to every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
2 ripe pears, thinly sliced (Bartlett or Bosc)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk (or plant-based milk)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry into a 12×12-inch square, then cut into 4–6 smaller squares.
In a bowl, combine sliced pears with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Toss gently.
Spoon pear mixture into the center of each puff pastry square, leaving a 1-inch border.
Fold edges up over the filling and brush with the beaten egg.
Transfer to the baking sheet and bake 18–22 minutes, until golden and crisp.
While baking, whisk powdered sugar, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth to make the glaze.
Cool slightly and drizzle glaze over the galettes before serving.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For a lighter version, try using maple syrup instead of sugar, or mix in other fruits like apples or berries. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 1–2 days or refrigerate up to 4 days.
