Instructions

Make Tart Dough
-
In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, and salt.

Cut in the cold butter using a fork or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add vinegar and ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until dough comes together.

Flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
-
-
Prepare Filling

In a small bowl, stir cream cheese until smooth.
-
Dice half the peach and mix gently into the cream cheese. Set aside the other half for topping.
-
-
Assemble Tarts
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out dough to ⅛-inch thick and cut into 3–4 inch circles or squares.
-
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Add a spoonful of cream cheese mixture to the center of each.
-
Top with 2–3 thin peach slices. Fold up edges if desired.

Brush crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
-
-
Bake
-
Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until crust is golden and peaches are tender.

Remove and cool slightly.
-
-
Honey Drizzle
-
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and ginger. Warm gently until pourable.

Drizzle over the warm tarts before serving.

Notes
Use very cold butter for the flakiest dough.
You can substitute nectarines or plums for the peach
These are best served warm or at room temperature the same day they’re made.
Optional: Top with whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert-style presentation.
