Asian pear pop-overs

I made these the other day on a whim, but they turned out so good I thought I would share the "recipe".  I use that term very loosely considering that I am a throw it and and cross your fingers kind of cook! But I will give you the gist of what I did and you can tweak it to your liking.

 

Pop-overs
1 can crescent rolls
4-6 small Asian pears- pealed and cubed (substitute any fresh fruit you like)- or use pie filling for the store for a faster/easier filling.
1/2 stick butter
1cup sugar (divide out 1/4 cup for the cinnamon/sugar sprinkle on top)
3 tsp cinnamon
2-3 Tbsp corn starch
1/2 cup water

Whipped topping
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar (adjust sugar to your preference)
2 tsp vanilla

To make pop-overs begin with 1/2 cup water in a small pan, add fruit and bring to a boil, reduce to simmer. Add in 3/4 cup sugar and 2 tsp sugar. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved and liquid- continue to simmer until fruit is tender. Add in cornstarch 1 Tbsp. at a time until the fruit mixture reaches desired thickness for filling- *you made need to turn the heat up to bring back to a boil and then reduce again to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.

Open crescent rolls and lay on baking sheet. *you might want to roll them into a more square or wider triangle than how they are shaped straight from the can. Spoon fruit filling into center of each roll and pull corners together to the center overlapping them.

Melt butter in microwave to an almost liquid state (about 20 seconds). Combine 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon in separate bowl. Brush the tops of each pop-over with butter and sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of pop-over.

Bake according to crescent package directions.

While pop-overs bake prepare fresh whipped cream.

Combine 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tsp. vanilla in large mixing bowl. Mix on high until the cream becomes fluffy and whipped. Set aside in refrigerator until pop-overs are ready to be served. Serve pop-overs warm with whipped cream on top.

These were a hit with my family! I actually made two batches and we only had one left!
