What You'll Need

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed (1/2 of a 17-ounce package)
4 large ripe pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (see Note)
1/4 cup granulated sugar substitute
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup sugar free frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 tablespoon firmly packed light brown sugar blend

What to Do

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry to 10- x 15-inches. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Lay pear slices on dough, slightly overlapping slices and covering the entire surface of the dough.
In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar substitute, cinnamon, and nutmeg; mix well and sprinkle evenly over pears.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until the pastry is golden; allow to cool.
In a small bowl, combine whipped topping, and brown sugar blend; stir until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until ready to use. When ready to serve, cut into squares and drizzle brown sugar mixture on top.
