Instructions

Peel, quarter, and core the pears. Toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Melt the butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over low heat. Add the sugar and salt and cook until the mixture is golden.
Arrange the quartered pears in the caramel (rounded-side down and tightly packed together). Cook the pears over medium heat on the stove until they are softened and the caramel is a deep golden color, about 30–40 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface or sheet of parchment paper, roll out the puff pastry. Cut out an 11-inch circle, prick it with a fork, and chill it for about 10 minutes.
Drape the pastry over the pears, tucking in the edges. Bake the tart at 400°F until it is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes.
Cool the tart for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving platter. Slice and serve it warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy!
