Prep time:
15 minutesCooking time:
30 minutes“Puff pastry sheets are much less expensive than refrigerated crescent rolls and will produce the same appetizing little pies. Look for these pastry sheets in the frozen food section of the grocery store.”

- 1 pear, peeled
- 1 (8-count) can crescent rolls
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 stick butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut pear into 8 slices. Separate crescent rolls.

Creamy Crab Over Puff Pastry
Because of the labor required to clean and pick crabmeat, it can be expensive. The least expensive is frozen claw meat. For a real money saver, try using popcorn or salad shrimp.
