Peach Pecan Tartlets with Honey Glaze

Mini tartlets with buttery crusts, filled with sweet peaches and toasted pecans, finished with a delicate honey glaze. These elegant treats are perfect for summer brunches, tea time, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 34 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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Shape dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. Arrange peach slices in a circular pattern over the partially baked crusts. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Top with toasted pecans.
  5. Bake for another 15–18 minutes, until crust is golden and peaches are tender.
  6. In a small bowl, mix honey, warm water, and vanilla. Brush over warm tartlets for a glossy finish.
  7. 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.
