Servings:

Preheat oven to 400°F
Lay the puff pastry sheet on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Score (cut a line) along the inside of the edge of the dough, about 1 inch in from the outside.
1 sheet puff pastry dough
Mix together the melted butter, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar. Using a pastry brush, brush the butter over the entire puff pastry sheet.
2 tablespoons salted butter, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Lay the pear slices into the middle of the puff pastry, slightly overlapping as you go. My tart was big enough to go 3 slices across and 7 slices down.
3 pears
Pour the remaining butter mixture over the pears and brush to cover.
Sprinkle with pecans if desired.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until puff pastry is fully cooked and browned.
Remove from oven and cut with pizza cutter into squares.
Serve with ice cream for an extra special treat!

Let the puff pastry dough thaw before using it.
Slice the pears thinly. That way they will cook all the way through and sit nicely on the pastry.
To melt the butter, microwave it in a bowl for about 30-60 seconds.
The edges of the pastry will start to puff up and brown when it's done.
Serve this pear tart warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and sprinkle some pecans on top.
