- For the Tart Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3–4 tablespoons ice water
- For the Filling:
- 3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped or halved pecans (toasted)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- For the Honey Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough just comes together.
- Shape dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out dough and press into 4 small tartlet pans. Prick bottoms with a fork and bake for 10 minutes.
- Arrange peach slices in a circular pattern over the partially baked crusts. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Top with toasted pecans.
- Bake for another 15–18 minutes, until crust is golden and peaches are tender.
- In a small bowl, mix honey, warm water, and vanilla. Brush over warm tartlets for a glossy finish.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for easier slicing and better texture.
- Dough can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
- Toasted pecans add flavor and crunch—toast in a dry pan for 3–5 minutes.
- Substitute nectarines or plums for peaches if desired.
