Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel, core, and dice the Bosc pears. In a medium bowl, drizzle in the butterscotch sauce, adding cinnamon and nutmeg. Combine gently.
  3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface to about 10x10 inches. Cut each sheet into four squares.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pear filling into the center of each pastry square. Brush water along the edges and fold each square over to form a triangle.
  5. Whisk together the egg with water to create an egg wash and brush it over the top of each turnover.
  6. Cut three small slits in the top of each turnover and chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
  7. Bake the turnovers in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Let the turnovers cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
