Delicious Peach and Brown Sugar Puff Pastry Tarts that are perfect for a sweet treat or dessert. These tarts feature fresh peaches, a hint of vanilla, and a touch of honey, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry.

Ingredients

Tarts

  • 4 large peaches, sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, firmly packed
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • honey, to finish

Egg wash

  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 Tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Filling Heat oven to 400℉/204℃. Line sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine peaches, brown sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Egg wash In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and water until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Assembly Unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Smooth flat. Cut into 6 equal rectangles. Repeat with the 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 the center of each pastry. Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Drizzle honey on each tart before serving.

Notes

  • How To Store These Peach Tarts: These tarts are best enjoyed as soon as they are made, but they can be kept in a zip-top bag in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can also freeze these tarts for up to 1 month.
  • Tested Substitutions For This Recipe: Frozen peaches can be used in this recipe. Just remember to thaw them before mixing the filling together! Arrowroot starch can be used instead of cornstarch if desired. You may need to add up to 2 tablespoons of arrowroot starch. If you don’t have access to puff pastry, pie dough may be used instead. Bake time will need to be adjusted. Not a fan of egg wash? You can use heavy cream or milk.
  • Tips For Success: 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.
