Peach Tartlets with Puff Pastry
A super simple spin on tartlets using puff pastry instead of a labor-intensive dough, topped with peaches, chopped almonds, and icing.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Paring Knife
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 Sheet Puff Pastry Thawed to room temperature and unfolded.
- 2 Peaches
- 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1 Tbsp White Sugar Or just 2 tbsp brown sugar if you prefer.
- 1 Tbsp Flour
- ½ Tsp Cinnamon
- ¾ Tsp Vanilla Extract Divided into ½ tsp and ¼ tsp.
- ⅓ Cup Sliced Almonds
- 1 Egg Beaten well.
- ½ Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉. Wash and slice your peaches into ¼" thick slices.
- Cut the puff pastry into nine equal squares and places them, slightly separated, on a baking sheet. Note: If the pastry squares are too small for the peach slices, you can slightly roll them out to be bigger, or dice the peach instead.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugars, flour, cinnamon, and ¼ tsp vanilla until it's all well mixed. Stir in the peaches to coat them as well as possible.
- Line 3-4 peach slices in the center of the pastry squares. Brush the edges with beaten egg. Sprinkle your almonds over the top.
- Bake for 18 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden. About halfway in, rotate the baking sheet for more even baking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for around 15 minutes.
- During this time, make your icing by combining the powdered sugar, milk, and remaining vanilla extract. Drizzle this over the slightly-warm pastries and enjoy!
