Preheat oven to 200°C. Roll puff pastry into a 28cm round and refrigerate.

In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter. Add brandy, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Simmer for 5–6 minutes.

Place the pear slices in the caramel. Simmer for 10–12 minutes until lightly softened and the sugar turns dark golden. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Cover pears with the puff pastry, tucking the edges inwards.

Bake for 25 minutes, until golden and crisp. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Carefully invert the tart onto a serving plate.
