Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel, core, and quarter the pears.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until foamy.

Add sugar and stir until it begins to caramelize, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

Arrange the pear quarters in the caramel, cut side up.

Cook the pears for 5-10 minutes until they soften slightly.

Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice.

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

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.

Let cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.
