EASY PEACH TARTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. On a floured surface, roll out and cut pastry into 3 1/4-inch-diameter circles. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and poke each circle several times with a fork. Beat together egg and 1 tbsp water and brush over each circle; sprinkle with extra sugar. Bake until golden, 10 to 12 min; let cool.
• Peel and cut peaches into 1/4-inch dice. Heat jam in the microwave until just hot and pass through a fine sieve. Gently toss strained jam with peaches.
• In a bowl, stir together the créme faîche and sugar. Spread about a tablespoon onto each pastry round. Top with glazed peaches and sprinkle with pistachios.

EASY PEACH TARTLETS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F. Thaw pastry 20 minutes at room temp, or until you can unfold the pastry. Cut into 9 equal sized squares and place on parchment lined baking sheet, spacing 1-inch apart.
• Beat 1 egg in a small bowl and set aside.
• Slice peaches into 1/3" thick slices and place in a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp flour, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp vanilla and gently fold together with a spatula.
• Layer 3 to 4 peach slices over the center of each pastry square. Avoid getting peach juice on pastry edges. Brush pastry edges generously with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
• Bake on the center oven rack at 400˚F for 17-19 min or until puffed and golden at the edges, turning the sheet halfway through baking. Note: Do not over-bake. It browns quickly towards the end. Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for 10 min.
• While pastry cools, make the glaze: in a measuring cup, stir together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 Tbsp milk. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency then drizzle over your warm pastries.

INDIVIDUAL PEACH TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Using a 5-inch cutter, cut 12 rounds, re-rolling the dough as needed. Brush off excess flour, and gently fit rounds into 3 1/2-inch tart pans with removable bottoms. Trim edges with scissors, a paring knife, or a rolling pin. Place tart pans on a baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove peaches from poaching liquid. Reserve poaching liquid for another use. Arrange three peach wedges in each tart shell.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until thick and pale yellow. Add the flour and salt, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the cream and cognac. Spoon custard around peaches in tart shells. Sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake until the custard is puffed and golden, about 35 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Serve at room temperature.

MINI GINGER-PEACH TARTS

Steps:

• For the crust: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, salt and fresh ginger in a food processor. Pulse to mix everything, about 8 times. Scatter the cold butter pieces all around the flour mixture. Pulse to help break up the butter, about 6 times. Add the egg and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand.
• Pour the mixture onto a large piece of parchment paper. Knead the dough until it comes together and there are no dry spots. Form the dough into a ball and cut it in half. Shape each half into a ball then place each ball between 2 sheets of parchment. Roll each ball flat into a disk about 1/8 inch thick between the parchment. Keep each disk between the parchment and refrigerate until chilled. (This is a good time to prepare the remaining ingredients.)
• Working with the first chilled disk (keep the second in the fridge), cut out rounds to fill three 4-inch nonstick mini tart pans with removable bottoms.
• Press 1 round of dough into the bottom and up the side of a tart pan, then use a paring knife to trim the excess pastry. Repeat with the second disk. Place all 6 filled tart pans in the freezer while you make the filling.
• For the filling: Combine the peaches, granulated sugar, flour, melted butter, and minced candied ginger in a large bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared tart shells and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the bottom of the crust is cooked through.
• Let cool on a wire rack and brush each tart with the jam.
• For serving: Garnish each tart with the candied ginger, if desired. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

• Whisk sugar and Chinese five-spice powder together in a small bowl. Beat egg and water together in another bowl.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter foams, arrange peaches in a single layer in the skillet. Pour sugar mixture over the peaches; cook, turning peaches once, until sugar is melted, bubbling, and syrup has a tan color, about 2 minutes. Transfer peaches and syrup to a bowl to cool completely.
• Cut pie crusts into eight 4 1/2-inch rounds. Set rounds on prepared baking sheet and fold edges of each crust up to form a 1/2-inch rim. Brush each crust with egg mixture.
• Place 2 peach slices, pit-sides facing each other, in the center of each tart. Place 1 peach slice in center, skin-side up, in between the other two peaches. Drizzle excess syrup over the peaches.

• Fold the lip of the pie crust over the edge of the peaches.
• Coat the edge of the crust with milk.
• Bake 35 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and crust is golden brown.

PEACH CUTIE PIES

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, salt, and sugar, mixing well. Add butter and mix gently using a pastry blender, a fork, or your hands, until butter pieces are well coated. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue mixing until pea-size crumbs have formed; dough should not be smooth and beaten together like cookie dough.
• Gather dough together and divide in half. Flatten each into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Transfer dough to refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in center of oven. Spray every other cup of a standard-size muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. You will need enough muffin tins to spray 16 alternating cups. Alternatively, you can work in batches. Set aside muffin tins aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out each disk of dough to a 1/4-inch thickness, lightly dusting with flour, as necessary, to prevent sticking. Cut out sixteen 5 1/2-inch-round circles, gently rerolling scraps as necessary. Gently but firmly press each dough circle into a prepared muffin cup; crimp edges as desired.
• Make the filling: Place all filling ingredients in a medium bowl and toss to combine; spoon filling evenly into muffin cups and set aside.
• Make the crumb topping: In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon; mix well. Add butter and mix thoroughly using a pastry blender, fork, or your fingers until small pea-size crumbs form. Add oats and mix until topping has a crumbly consistency.
• Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over cutie pies and transfer to oven; bake until filling is bubbling and crust is golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before removing from tins, using a butter knife to loosen sides, if necessary. Cutie pies are best served at room temperature.

MINI PEACH PHYLLOTARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Onto a clean, dry work surface, place phyllo dough sheets. Cover with a damp towel (but not overly wet). Make sure there is an equal-sized clean, dry work space very close to the covered phyllo dough, as this will make assembly much easier.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Place one regular-sized 12-cup muffin pan nearby.
• Peel and slice peaches and place in a large bowl. Then add sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Stir to combine thoroughly and set aside.
• Carefully take first phyllo sheet from the top of the stack and lay it onto the prepared clean, dry work surface. Re-cover the stack with the damp towel.
• Gently brush a light layer of butter onto the phyllo sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture, top with another phyllo sheet and repeat until four sheets have been stacked and buttered.
• With a pastry cutter or pizza cutter, gently cut phyllo into six evenly-spaced squares.
• Carefully tuck phyllo squares into muffin cups. Spoon peach filling into the center of each (about 6 peach slices in each cup).
• Bake for 20-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
• Serve warm and enjoy!
