Pear Tartlets

Submitted by aerobicon

"Easy recipe! Hmm... not sure about the exact measurements of the sugar and cinnamon, because I used one packet of Sugar in the Raw for the sugar and sprinkled on the cinnamon, but I think this is about right. For the sugar I'm sure you could use some brown sugar instead. For the puff pastry I used frozen Pepperidge Farms. Each sheet yields about three 3" circles. Prep time does not include pastry thawing time."
