Ingredients
Scale
For the Tart
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 medium peaches, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
For the Vanilla Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Pastry: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold the thawed puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a knife, gently score a 1-inch border around the edge of the pastry without cutting all the way through; this will help create a raised edge after baking.
- Toss Fruit Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced peaches and fresh blueberries. Add granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon, tossing gently until the fruit is evenly coated. This mixture will provide sweetness and help thicken the fruit juices while baking.
- Assemble the Tart: Spread the fruit mixture evenly within the scored border of the puff pastry sheet. Be careful not to exceed the border to ensure the edges can rise properly during baking. Then, brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to help them brown beautifully.
- Bake the Tart: Place the assembled tart in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake until the puff pastry is golden and puffed, and the fruit filling is bubbling hot, signaling it is cooked through and thickened.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the tart bakes, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. This glaze will add a sweet and creamy finishing touch.
- Cool and Glaze: Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Frozen fruit can be used if fresh is unavailable; just thaw and drain well before using to avoid excess moisture.
- To add a different flavor profile, try adding a few drops of almond extract to the vanilla glaze.
