Mini Peach PhylloTarts image

These are the cutest, tastiest miniature peach tarts. They are made up of layers of phyllo dough brushed with butter and cinnamon-sugar in between, cut into squares, then stuffed into muffin tins and filled with a sweet spiced peach filling. Enjoy as-is or with a dollop of fresh vanilla whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Time 40m

Yield 12 Mini Tarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces phyllo pastry sheets
5 -6 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
5 -6 peaches, skins removed
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Onto a clean, dry work surface, place phyllo dough sheets. Cover with a damp towel (but not overly wet). Make sure there is an equal-sized clean, dry work space very close to the covered phyllo dough, as this will make assembly much easier.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Place one regular-sized 12-cup muffin pan nearby.
  • Peel and slice peaches and place in a large bowl. Then add sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Stir to combine thoroughly and set aside.
  • Carefully take first phyllo sheet from the top of the stack and lay it onto the prepared clean, dry work surface. Re-cover the stack with the damp towel.
  • Gently brush a light layer of butter onto the phyllo sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture, top with another phyllo sheet and repeat until four sheets have been stacked and buttered.
  • With a pastry cutter or pizza cutter, gently cut phyllo into six evenly-spaced squares.
  • Carefully tuck phyllo squares into muffin cups. Spoon peach filling into the center of each (about 6 peach slices in each cup).
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
