Ingredients
  

  • This recipe keeps things minimal letting sweet peaches and warm spices do the work. Here's exactly what you need.
  • 2 large peaches thinly sliced
  • 6 puff pastry squares
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds plus more for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil or any neutral-flavored oil
  • Powdered sugar for garnishing, optional
  • Sliced almonds bring genuine crunch and nutty flavor that balances the sweetness of the peaches and maple syrup delivering on that "almond" promise the title makes.

Equipment

  • This recipe keeps the tool list refreshingly simple. Here's what to grab:
  • Oven
  • Baking tray
  • Knife and chopping board (for slicing the peaches)
  • Small bowl (for mixing the spices)
  • Pastry brush (for the oil wash)
  • Fork (for sealing edges and pricking the pastry)
  • No stand mixer, no food processor required. A baking tray and a knife handle nearly the entire process.

Method
 

  1. Step 1- Preheat the Oven
  2. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  3. Step 2- Prep the Peaches and Spices
  4. Thinly slice the peaches. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and ginger powder and set aside.
  5. Step 3- Line Your Baking Tray
  6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  7. Step 4- Build Each Tart
  8. Spread about 2 teaspoons of maple syrup on a corner of the parchment for each tart. Place peach slices on top, then drizzle with a bit more maple syrup. Sprinkle with the cinnamon-ginger mixture and a few sliced almonds.
  9. Step 5- Cover and Seal
  10. Cover with a puff pastry square and gently press down. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork all the way around.
  11. Step 6- Brush with Oil
  12. Brush the puff pastry with a little oil, then repeat the process with all the remaining squares.
  13. Step 7- Prick and Bake
  14. Prick each puff pastry square in 2 to 3 places with a fork to let steam escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown.
  15. Step 8- Cool and Flip
  16. Remove the baking tray and let the tarts cool to room temperature. Once cooled, flip them over with a spatula so the peach filling faces up.
  17. Step 9- Garnish and Serve
  18. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and a few extra sliced almonds before serving.
