Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1/2 pack puff pastry dough (about 200 grams)
- Flour for dusting the cutting board
Filling and Topping
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter (room temperature, 14 grams)
- 1 Tablespoon packed dark brown sugar (11 grams)
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (2 grams)
- 2 ripe but firm peaches (pitted, quartered, thinly sliced and patted dry)
Instructions
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Lightly dust your cutting board with flour. Roll out the puff pastry dough gently to smooth any creases. Using a knife or a cutter, slice the dough into strips approximately 2 inches wide and 10-12 inches long for easier rolling.
- Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the packed dark brown sugar and ground cinnamon. This mixture will add a lovely sweet-spice flavor to your tarts.
- Prepare Peach Slices: Ensure the peach slices are thin and patted dry to prevent sogginess. The slices should be pliable enough to bend but firm enough to hold shape.
- Assemble the Rose Tarts: Spread a thin layer of softened unsalted butter along each strip of puff pastry. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Starting at the long edge of each strip, lay the peach slices with the rounded side of the peach slices extending slightly beyond the edge of the dough strip. Overlap slices slightly to create the look of rose petals. Carefully roll the dough strip from one long edge to the other, encasing the peach petals and forming the shape of a rose.
- Prepare for Baking: Place each rolled tart into a muffin tin or on a parchment-lined baking sheet, standing upright to maintain the rose shape.
- Bake the Tarts: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the peach rose tarts for about 35-40 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully cooked, and the peaches are tender and caramelized.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the tarts to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to let the roses set and to avoid burning your mouth on the hot filling.
Notes
- Ensure peaches are firm and thinly sliced for best rose shape.
- Use room temperature butter for easy spreading.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle honey before serving for extra sweetness.
- These tarts are best served the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For a vegan option, substitute butter with a plant-based margarine and ensure puff pastry is dairy-free.
