Ingredients
  

  • This recipe keeps things minimal letting sweet peaches and crispy pastry do the work. Here's exactly what you need.
  • For the Tarts
  • 4 large peaches sliced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
  • Maple syrup to finish
  • For the Wash
  • 1 tablespoon plant milk oat or soy work well
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Check your puff pastry brand's ingredient label to confirm it's vegan many use vegetable shortening but some use butter.

Equipment

  • This recipe keeps the tool list refreshingly simple. Here's what to grab:
  • Sheet pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Medium bowl (for the peach filling)
  • Small bowl (for the wash)
  • Pastry brush
  • Sharp knife (for cutting the pastry into rectangles)
  • No stand mixer, no food processor required. A sheet pan and a couple of bowls handle nearly the entire process.

Method
 

  1. Step 1- Preheat the Oven
  2. Heat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
  3. Step 2- Prep the Sheet Pan
  4. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.

  6. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
  7. Step 4- Make the Wash
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the plant milk and water until smooth. Set aside.
  9. Step 5- Cut the Pastry
  10. Unfold one sheet of puff pastry and smooth it flat. Cut it into 6 equal rectangles. Repeat with the second sheet.
  11. Step 6- Prep for Assembly
  12. Place the pastry rectangles on the prepared sheet pans. Use a pastry brush to coat the edges of each rectangle with the wash.
  13. Step 7- Fold and Seal
  14. Fold the edges of each rectangle inward and lightly press to seal, creating a raised border.
  15. Step 8- Add the Peaches
  16. Brush the tops of the dough with more wash, then layer peach slices in the center of each pastry.
  17. Step 9- Bake
  18. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until the pastry puffs and turns golden brown.
