Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup unsalted butter, plus 1 teaspoon for greasing the pan
1 10-x-14-inch sheet ready-made pastry dough, defrosted
3 cups blueberries or peeled and very thinly sliced pear or apple wedges
3/4 cup sugar
6 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional)
1 cup caramel sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Melt the 2/3 cup butter in a saucepan over low heat. Set it aside.
  • Grease a baking sheet with the remaining 1 teaspoon butter.
  • On a floured surface, unroll the dough, cut it into six equal squares, and transfer the squares to the baking sheet.
  • Cover each square with 1/2 cup of the berries or with enough pear or apple slices, attractively overlapping, to blanket all but the pastry edges.
  • Using a basting brush or a spoon, paint the fruit with melted butter, and then sprinkle each square with 2 tablespoons of the sugar.
  • Pop them into the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the fruit is tender.
  • Serve with ice cream and a decorative drizzle of caramel sauce, and your guests will think you graduated from the Culinary Academy.
