About The Recipe

It’s our first peach recipe of the season and I’m so excited to finally share it!

As most of you already know, my mom and I absolutely adore peaches. As soon as early peaches start coming into our local farmer’s market, we buy a basket every week! They’re a great addition to summer salads, baked goods, and (of course) just as a sweet snack.

And, I must admit, the peaches this year are unusually delicious! I mean, they’re sweet, more flavorful, and just better than they have been in past years.

So, my mom and I really wanted to make something to just let the peaches shine. But, we also wanted something super easy! I mean, if you gotta turn your oven on during the summer, it better be something that bakes fast, tastes great, and is totally worth it!

These little puff pastry tarts fit that bill exactly!

Ready in about 40 mores (this includes bake time AND assembly!), extra peachy, and perfectly sweet. I could not be happier with how these cuties turned out!!!

And, even if you don’t have super flavorful peaches, you can STILL make this recipe and have it be extra delicious. The secret? Adding about 1 Tablespoon of peach jam under the peach slices!

No matter how you make these little tarts, they are sure to be a hit at your summer gatherings!

Ingredients

Full ingredient amounts and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Large Peaches – For this recipe, it’s best to use fresh and extra flavorful peaches, as this is the only flavor element in this tart!
• Brown Sugar – We added just a little bit of brown sugar to lightly sweeten, but also to add a subtle undertone to every bite.
• Vanilla Extract – Adds a subtle sweetness to this tart.
• Cornstarch – Since peaches tend to have a lot of juice, the cornstarch helps keep from this tart from becoming soggy while it bakes.
• Salt – Cuts some of the sweetness, but also enhances the flavor of the peaches.
• Puff Pastry – To keep this recipe super simple, we opted to use store-bought puff pastry! This makes the tarts oh-so flakey, buttery, but sturdy enough to eat without utensils.
• Honey – Just a drizzle of honey to add some moisture and some extra flavor to each tart!

For The Egg Wash:

• Egg Yolk – Using an egg yolk for the egg wash adds just the right amount of shine and perfectly browns the pastry!
• Water – Adding a splash of water makes the egg looser and makes it goes further.

How To Make Mini Peach Tarts

Step 1: Prepare filling

In a medium bowl, combine peaches, brown sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2: Make egg wash

In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and water until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3: Assemble and bake

Unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Smooth flat. Cut into 6 equal rectangles. Repeat with second sheet of pastry. Place on prepared sheet pans. Use a pastry brush to brush edges of each rectangle with egg wash.

Fold edges inward. Lightly press to seal. Brush tops of dough with egg wash.

Layer peach slices in center of each pastry. Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Drizzle honey on each tart before serving.

Expert Tips

• Remember to set your puff pastry out ahead of time to allow it time to thaw.
• If you don’t have really fresh/really sweet peaches, these tarts will not have much flavor. Though, there is a way to counteract this! Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of peach jam/preserves into the tarts before topping with peach slices.
• If your puff pastry is too warm, it might not puff like it’s supposed to. You can freeze the tarts for 5-10 minutes before baking to ensure the perfect layers!
• These tarts are best enjoyed as soon as they are made.
• The honey is optional, but highly recommended!
