Directions

Heat the oven to 400°F.

Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Roll each sheet into a 12-inch square and cut each into 12 circles, using a 3-inch cookie or biscuit cutter. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon pear mixture onto the center of each circle. Brush the edges the of pastries with water and fold in half to form a half-moon. Press the edges to seal.
