• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp cornstarch

🥧 For the Tartlet Shells:

• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp milk (to mix with egg wash)

Optional:

• Powdered sugar for dusting
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

👨‍🍳 Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. In a bowl, combine peach slices, brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
2. Toss gently to coat and let sit for 10 minutes while juices develop.

Step 2: Preheat and Prep

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3: Shape the Tartlets

1. Roll out the puff pastry and cut into 4-inch rounds or squares.
2. Place pastry pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Spoon a few peach slices into the center of each round, leaving a ½-inch border.

Step 4: Seal and Glaze

1. Fold edges slightly inward or crimp with a fork for rustic edges.
2. In a small bowl, whisk egg and milk to create an egg wash.
3. Brush the pastry edges with egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 5: Bake

• Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

• Serve warm or at room temperature.

❓ 10 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use canned or frozen peaches?

Yes! Just be sure to drain well and pat dry to prevent sogginess.

2. Can I use homemade crust?

Absolutely — a flaky butter crust works beautifully.

3. Can I make them in advance?

Yes, bake and cool, then store in the fridge. Reheat before serving.

4. What other fruits can I use?

Try apples, pears, plums, or berries with the same base recipe.

5. How do I prevent the tartlets from getting soggy?

Sprinkle a little cornstarch or almond flour on the crust before adding filling.

6. Can I make these vegan?

Use vegan puff pastry and skip the egg wash or use plant-based milk.

7. Can I make a larger tart instead?

Yes! Use the same filling in a tart pan with one whole pastry sheet.

8. Do I need to peel the peaches?

It’s optional. Peeling creates a smoother texture, but unpeeled peaches work fine.

9. Can I add a glaze?

Yes! Brush with apricot jam or peach preserves after baking for shine.

10. Are these freezer-friendly?

You can freeze baked tartlets and reheat in the oven for 10 minutes before serving.

💡 Pro Tips

• Use ripe but firm peaches for best flavor and texture.
• Don’t overload with filling — too much juice = soggy crust.
• Bake on parchment paper to avoid sticking and easy cleanup.
• Let tartlets cool slightly before serving — the filling sets better.
• For added flair, sprinkle with turbinado sugar before baking.

🏁 Conclusion

These Easy Peach Tartlets are a celebration of summer’s sweetest fruit, wrapped in golden pastry and perfect for every occasion. They’re quick to make, gorgeous to serve, and even better to eat. 🥧✨
