Three Little Ghostesses
Three little ghostesses 
Sitting on postesses, 
Eating buttered toastesses, 
Greasing their fistesse, 
Up to their wristesses, 
Oh, what beastesses 
To make such feastesse!
Cook's Notes: Todays feastesse:  Apple Pear Tart with Caramel Sauce
Bake this treat and your family and friends will be impressed. It tastes like it came from a  bakery with a crispy yet flaky crust topped with sweet cinnamon pear and apple mixture and a drizzle of caramel sauce. What's not to like on this one!! A real winner in my book.  
Recipe makes 6 tart servings and adapted from cuisineathome.com October 2017
Tarts Ingredients:
  • 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed cut lengthwise and then into 6 rectangles. 
  • 2 TB. each granulated sugar and brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. Saigon cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple cut in thin slices
  • 2 Pears Bosc or Anjou, cut in thin slices
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup almonds or pecans
Directions:
  • Mix sugars, cinnamon and salt, set aside.
  • Cover a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. 
  • Place puff pastry on baking sheet and cut into 6 rectangles. Space each out on baking sheet. 
  • In a large bowl add sliced apples. pears and lemon juice. Mix in sugar and cinnamon.   
  • Divide apple, pear mixture among 6 rectangles. Spread mixture out on each puff pastry leaving an edge all around the sides of each tart. Use a fork and press down all around the edges of the tart.  This helps the edges puff up around the outside.

  • 2 TB. brown sugar
  • 1 TB. butter
  • 1 TB. heavy cream
