Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, pulse 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 2: Add 1 large egg yolk and pulse until dough begins to clump together. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Step 3: In a medium bowl, beat 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until creamy. Mix in 1/2 cup almond flour, 1 large egg, and 1/2 tsp almond extract until smooth to create the frangipane filling.
- Step 4: Roll out chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out twelve 3-inch circles and gently press each into a mini tartlet pan.
- Step 5: Spoon about 1 tbsp of almond filling evenly into each tart shell.
- Step 6: Arrange thin slices of 1 large fresh peach decoratively on top of each tartlet, slightly overlapping.
- Step 7: Bake tartlets for 25-30 minutes until the almond filling is puffed and golden and crust is crisp.
- Step 8: While warm, mix 2 tbsp honey with 1 tbsp water and brush gently over peach slices to create a shiny glaze. Allow tartlets to cool completely before removing from pans.
