Ingredients
Puff Pastry Tartlets:
1 lb. puff pastry, defrosted (I used Fillo Factory Organic Puff Pastry)
Fruit Filling:
2 lbs. medium peaches, or other stone fruit (about 6)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. almond extract
2 tsps. lemon zest
1 tsp. lemon juice
Egg Wash:
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 TBSP. water
1 TBSP. turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
Optional:
almond meal
Instructions
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry and cut into equal rectangles. Score a border and prick the center with a fork.
- Prepare the Fruit: Slice the peaches and toss with sugar, almond extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Assemble the Tartlets: Place fruit slices on puff pastry, brush the border with egg wash, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake: Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes until golden.
- Glaze: Warm preserves, glaze the warm tartlets, and let cool before serving.
Notes
- There are two different kinds of peaches:
- Cling Stone Peaches: these peaches come early in the season and the fruit ‘clings’ to the pit.
- Free Stone Peaches: these peaches come later in the season and the fruit easily separates from the pit by twisting the two halves.
