  • Total Time: 1 hour 12 minutes
  • Yield: 4 mini tarts

Ingredients

– ΒΎ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

– 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

– ΒΌ teaspoon salt

– 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes or grated

– 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

– ΒΌ teaspoon white distilled vinegar

– 1 tablespoon heavy cream for brushing dough

– Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling dough

– 1 fresh peach (half sliced thinly, approx. 4 slices per tart)

– 3 to 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

– 2 tablespoons honey

– 1 teaspoon lemon juice

– β…› teaspoon ground cinnamon

– β…› teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

1-First, make the dough: In a bowl, combine ΒΎ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, ΒΌ teaspoon salt, and 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into cubes. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized pieces form. Mix ΒΌ teaspoon white distilled vinegar with 2 tablespoons ice water, then add it to the flour mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms, adding more ice water 1 teaspoon at a time if needed. Shape into a ball, flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2-Next, prepare the fillings: For the peach tart filling, thinly slice half of 1 fresh peach (aim for about 4 slices per tart). Slice 3 to 4 ounces of cream cheese into 8 thin, even slices (2 per tart). In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon lemon juice, β…› teaspoon ground cinnamon, and β…› teaspoon ground ginger; stir in 2 tablespoons honey to create the drizzle.

3-Then, preheat and roll the dough: Preheat your oven to 425Β°F on the middle rack. On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a rectangle, fold it into thirds like a letter, roll it out again, fold once more, and then roll into a 9Γ—9 inch square. Cut into 4 equal squares.

4-Assemble the tarts: Place the squares on a baking sheet and fold up the edges about ΒΌ inch to form a wall. Put 2 cream cheese slices in the center of each square and drizzle lightly with the honey mixture. Arrange the peach slices evenly over the cream cheese. Brush the dough edges with 1 tablespoon heavy cream and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar. Add more honey mixture over the tarts.

5-Finally, bake: Put them in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack, then drizzle with extra honey before serving.
