Mini Peach Phyllotarts Recipes

EASY PEACH TARTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. On a floured surface, roll out and cut pastry into 3 1/4-inch-diameter circles. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and poke each circle several times with a fork. Beat together egg and 1 tbsp water and brush over each circle; sprinkle with extra sugar. Bake until golden, 10 to 12 min; let cool.
• Peel and cut peaches into 1/4-inch dice. Heat jam in the microwave until just hot and pass through a fine sieve. Gently toss strained jam with peaches.

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.

MINI PEACH PHYLLOTARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Onto a clean, dry work surface, place phyllo dough sheets. Cover with a damp towel (but not overly wet). Make sure there is an equal-sized clean, dry work space very close to the covered phyllo dough, as this will make assembly much easier.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Place one regular-sized 12-cup muffin pan nearby.
• Peel and slice peaches and place in a large bowl. Then add sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Stir to combine thoroughly and set aside.
• Carefully take first phyllo sheet from the top of the stack and lay it onto the prepared clean, dry work surface. Re-cover the stack with the damp towel.
• Gently brush a light layer of butter onto the phyllo sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture, top with another phyllo sheet and repeat until four sheets have been stacked and buttered.
• With a pastry cutter or pizza cutter, gently cut phyllo into six evenly-spaced squares.
• Carefully tuck phyllo squares into muffin cups. Spoon peach filling into the center of each (about 6 peach slices in each cup).
• Bake for 20-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
• Serve warm and enjoy!

MINI PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine peaches, sugar, vanilla extract, bourbon, cornstarch, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Fruit filling will be fairly soupy. Divide filling into 8 oven-safe ramekins and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes, carefully stirring every 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl and set aside. Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth. Stir in dry ingredients until just combined. Crumble topping evenly over hot filling.
• Return to the oven and bake until topping has spread and is nicely browned and fruit is bubbly, about 15 minutes.

PEACH AND PASSION-FRUIT PHYLLO TARTS

Steps:

• Make shells:
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Stack phyllo between 2 sheets of wax paper and cover with a kitchen towel. In a very small saucepan melt butter. On a work surface brush 1 phyllo sheet with half of melted butter. Top buttered phyllo with a second phyllo sheet and brush with remaining butter. Sprinkle amaretti crumbs evenly over second phyllo sheet and top with remaining phyllo sheet. Cut phyllo stack into quarters and fit 1 quarter into each of four 3-inch tart pans with removable fluted rims. Fold in pastry overhang to form a shallow crumpled edge.
• Bake shells on a baking sheet in middle of oven until golden, about 15 minutes, and cool in pans on a rack. Shells may be made 1 day ahead and kept in tart pans, loosely covered, in a cool, dry place.
• Make filling:
• Line a sieve with a double thickness of cheesecloth or a paper towel and set over a bowl. Drain yogurt in sieve, covered and chilled, at least 1 hour. Discard liquid and transfer yogurt to a bowl. Stir in sugar.
• Halve and pit peaches and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Transfer wedges to a small bowl. Halve passion fruit and scoop flesh and seeds into bowl. Stir in honey until combined well. Fruit mixture may be made 2 hours ahead and kept chilled, covered.
• Assemble:
• Just before serving, remove shells from pans and divide yogurt among shells, smoothing tops. Top yogurt with fruit mixture.

MINI PEACH HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat (such as Silpat®).
• Pour pie filling into a bowl and stir in cinnamon until evenly blended in. Use kitchen shears to chop the peaches into small pieces.
• Pour 1/4 cup water in a small bowl--you will use this to wet your finger and gently wet the very outer edges of the pie rounds before sealing.
• Lay out your first pie crust round. Use a 4-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 7 rounds; you can get about 5 out with your first pass, and then will need to gently press the dough together and roll it out again to the get the last 2 or 3 depending on how thin you roll out the dough.
• Place about 1/2 tablespoon peach filling in the center of each round. Wet your fingertip and run it around the very outside edge of the dough round before you fold the pie crust in half, over the top of the filling. Gently press along the seam, and then use the tines of a fork to press all the way around to help seal the pie.
• Place the prepared pies on the lined baking sheet, and repeat with all remaining dough and filling--you may have some filling leftover, depending on how full you are able to fill the pies.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pies are golden brown and lightly crisped, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Once you have removed the pies from the oven, create glaze. Whisk together sifted powdered sugar and milk until smooth. The glaze should be fairly thin.
• Gently dip either just the tops of the warm pies, or submerse the whole pie into the glaze, flipping gently with a fork, and then setting on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to cool and dry. Repeat with all pies. If you dip the full pies, you may need a little extra glaze at the end, but this should be enough to lightly coat them all.

MINI CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY PHYLLO TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the pastry shells: Use a pastry brush to brush one sheet of phyllo with melted butter. Top with another sheet and brush with butter and repeat for a total of 4 layers. Top with the remaining sheet of phyllo but do not brush the top with butter.
• Use the remaining melted butter to brush the insides of 6 cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan, leaving every other cup empty.
• Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the stack of phyllo sheets into 6 squares, each about 4-by-4 inches. Ease each square into a buttered muffin cup, pressing gently to line the cup and allowing the edges to fold in. Refrigerate while you make the batter.
• For the batter: Microwave the chocolate chips and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth, about 60 seconds. Whisk in the sugar, vanilla and salt. Whisk in the egg until smooth, then whisk the mixture vigorously for 20 seconds. Whisk in the almond flour until combined.
• Divide the batter between the phyllo-lined cups. Place a heaping teaspoon of jam in the center of each cup and swirl with a toothpick. Bake until a clean toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs, 34 to 38 minutes.
• Cool the tarts in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Dust each tart with powdered sugar and top with a few fresh raspberries before serving.
