Pumpkin and Pear Tarts


1 sheet Puff Pastry
2 Pears, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 cup Pumpkin Puree
1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese
2 tablespoons Agave Sweetener
Zest of one Lemon
2 tablespoon Flax Seed Meal, optional
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Sprinkle brown sugar and lemon juice over sliced pears, set them aside until ready to use.

In a medium size bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients until all are incorporated together.

Cut defrosted puff pastry into six even pieces.  Arrange the cut dough on a baking sheet that's lined with parchment paper.  Scoop the pumpkin mixture into every piece and top with sliced pears.

Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Serves 6

HAPPY FALL!!!

*Instead of parchment paper I like to use my "Baking Mat".  Its easy to clean and works Amazingly...
