1 cup solid pack pumpkin
1 1/2 pears, peeled, cored and diced (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg, lightly beaten
Cinnamon sugar

Mix pumpkin, pears, sugar, walnuts, cinnamon, cloves and ginger in medium bowl. Spoon half of filling in center third of one pastry sheet.

Make downward slanting cuts in outer edges of pastry (3/4 inch apart) starting about 1 inch away from filling and cutting to outside edges. Starting at top, alternately fold left and right side of pastry strips over filling forming chevron design. Seal at top and bottom of strudel. Place on rimmed baking sheet.
