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.

INDIVIDUAL PEACH PASTRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove one sheet of phyllo from under the wrap to a clean work surface. Brush it with half of the melted butter. Lay the second sheet of phyllo on top and brush with the remaining butter. Cut the phyllo in half lengthwise, then quarter lengthwise, to make 8 rectangles.
• Place 4 of the rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprayed lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place the remaining rectangles on top of each, making four 4-layered pastries. Arrange about 10 to 12 peach slices on each pastry and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of brown sugar over each. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle each pastry with an additional teaspoon of brown sugar. Return to the oven and bake 5 to 7 minutes more, until the sugar has melted and is bubbly.

INDIVIDUAL PEACH TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan until it bubbles. Add the sugar and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick and stir to combine, pressing on the vanilla bean to bring out the vanilla seeds inside. Continue simmering until caramel in color, about 5 minutes. The mixture might not look smooth and blended at this point.
• Stir in the brandy, lemon juice and orange zest and continue cooking until smooth, about 5 minutes more. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange the ramekins on a cookie sheet. Pour 2 tablespoons of caramel into the bottom of each ramekin. Arrange 1 peach half in each ramekin. Pour a little more caramel over the peaches and bake until the caramel is bubbling and the peaches are almost tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (The recipe can be made up to this point, cooled to room temperature, and refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before proceeding.)
• Meanwhile, use a cutter or sharp knife, cut the puff pastry into 12 rounds, slightly larger than the diameter of your ramekins (they will shrink during the baking). Remove the ramekins from the oven and turn it up to 425 degrees F. Top each ramekin with a round of puff pastry and bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Let cool at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours. When ready to serve, re-warm the tarts slightly to loosen the caramel by placing them in a shallow pan of very hot water, or on a flame tamer on your stovetop, set over medium heat. Unmold upside down onto small plates and serve, with the peaches up and the pastry on the bottom.

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.
