Equipment

  • Baking Sheet Lined with Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

Tart Dough

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cold cut into cubes or grate
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
  • ¼ teaspoon white distilled vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream for brushing dough
  • cinnamon sugar for sprinkling dough

Peach Tart Filling

  • 1 fresh peach peach one half cut into slices
  • 3 to 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature

Honey Drizzle

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions
 

Tart Dough

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, and butter. Begin to 'cut' in the butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the butter is about the size of peas.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, add 2 tablespoons of the ice water and vinegar. Add to the dough and stir with your fingers or a fork until you have a rough dough. If the dough still seems too dry, add more ice water – 1 teaspoon at a time.
  • Pour the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and form into a ball, then flatten into a small disc. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Peach Tart Filling

  • Slice the peach into even slices - about 4 slices per tart.
  • Slice the cream cheese into 8 even, thin, slices.

Honey Drizzle

  • In a small mixing bowl, add the lemon juice, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir. Add the honey to mixture and stir until well incorporated.
  • Preheat the oven to 425F degrees and adjust the oven rack to the middle position.
  • Lightly flour your work surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle, then fold the dough into thirds on top of itself. Roll and fold one more time. For the last roll, roll the dough into approximately a 9x9-inch square.
  • Cut into 4 even pieces. Place the cut pastry squares on your prepared baking sheet. Fold up each edge of the pastry square - about ¼ inch.
  • Place two slices of cream cheese in the center of each pastry square. Drizzle a little honey drizzle over the top of the cream cheese.
  • Arrange peach slices on top of each tart. Brush the edges of the dough with the heavy cream, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top of each tart.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tarts are golden brown. Transfer the tarts to a wire cooling rack to cool slightly.
  • Drizzle even more honey over the tarts before serving.

Notes

This is a small batch recipe that can be doubled. Fresh peaches are recommended for this recipe because they retain texture and firmness when baked.
