Ingredients

Tart Dough:

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed or grated

3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

1/4 teaspoon white distilled vinegar

1 tablespoon heavy cream (for brushing dough)

Cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling edges)

Filling:

1 fresh peach, half sliced

3 to 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

Honey Drizzle:

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form.
  2. Add ice water mixed with vinegar, stirring until dough holds together. Shape into a disc, wrap, and chill 30 minutes.
  3. Slice the peach thinly. Cut cream cheese into 8 thin slices (2 per tart). Mix honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and ginger for drizzle.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. On a floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle, fold into thirds, repeat once, then roll into a 9×9-inch square. Cut into 4 pieces.
  6. Place squares on baking sheet. Fold edges up slightly to form a border.
  7. Layer 2 cream cheese slices in the center, drizzle lightly with honey mixture, then top with peach slices.
  8. Brush edges with heavy cream, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and drizzle more honey mixture over peaches.
  9. Bake 18–22 minutes until golden. Cool slightly on wire rack. Drizzle more honey before serving.

Notes

  • Swap peaches with nectarines, plums, or apricots.
  • Add chopped nuts for crunch.
  • Use mascarpone or ricotta instead of cream cheese.
  • Try maple syrup or agave in place of honey.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for indulgence.
