Easy Caramelized Peach Tarts

Makes 3 dozen mini tarts.

Ingredients:

• 36 mini puff pastry squares

for the peaches:

• 3 large peaches, peeled and sliced
• 3 Tablespoons bourbon
• 3 Tablespoons oil
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

for the crumble:

• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine or oil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Peaches:

1. In a large frying pan, combine peach slices, bourbon, oil, sugar and vanilla.
2. Cook over a medium flame for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the peaches to be softened (but not mushy) and the juices to be reduced.
3. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the crumble.

Crumble: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix to combine. This will be easiest done by hand or with a wooden spoon.

To assemble: 

1. Take a square of puff pastry and fold over the four sides, just about 1/8 of an inch, to create a “well” for the peaches.
2. Place slices of peach inside the well, filling as much space as possible. Don’t worry about making it neat because the crumbs will cover it.
3. Top the tart with crumbs, enough to cover most of the peaches. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
4. Place tarts on prepared cookie sheet, leaving a bit of room between them. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, until tarts are just starting to turn golden on the edges.

These are best served warm – and would be amazing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
