Pear Tart

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 squares and place on parchment-lined cookie sheet. Top with pear slices. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat apricot preserves for 30 seconds, or until warmed and spreadable. Spread apricot preserves over pear slices. Brush edges of pastry with whisked egg.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
