Ingredients

Scale

For the Pastry:

  • 1 package prepared pie pastry (or homemade pie dough)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Glazed Peaches:

  • 3 fresh peaches, diced
  • 1/3 cup apricot jam, strained

For the Sweetened Cream:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or crème fraîche)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

For the Garnish:

  • 1/4 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped

Instructions

Bake the Pastry Rounds:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the pie pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 4-5 inch rounds (use a cookie cutter or small bowl for uniform shapes).
  3. Prepare the Pastry for Baking: Place the pastry rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly prick the centers with a fork to prevent puffing.
  4. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the edges with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
  5. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Let them cool completely.

Prepare the Glazed Peaches:

  1. Toss the Peaches: In a bowl, toss the diced peaches with the strained apricot jam until well coated. Set aside.

Make the Sweetened Cream:

  1. Combine Yogurt and Sugar: In a small bowl, stir together the plain Greek yogurt (or crème fraîche) and granulated sugar until smooth.

Assemble the Tarts:

  1. Spread the Cream: Once the pastry rounds are cool, spread about 1 tablespoon of the sweetened cream onto each pastry round.
  2. Top with Peaches: Top with a generous spoonful of the glazed peaches.
  3. Sprinkle Pistachios: Sprinkle with chopped pistachios for a delightful crunch.

Serve:

  1. Serve Immediately: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can use a variety of fruits such as nectarines or plums instead of peaches for a different flavor.
  • The tarts are best served fresh to maintain their crispness, but they can be refrigerated for 1-2 days.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle honey on top or add a touch of cinnamon to the cream.
