Thank you for this recipe, Jessica. I think this was, by far, the EASIEST Dorie recipe. I had everything I needed already in the kitchen. Puff pastry? Check. Peaches? Check. Butter? Duh. Brown sugar? Double check. A husband who loves dessert? Clearly, check.
I was a little worried because my puff pastry was pretty old, but since it had been in the freezer, I hoped it would be okay. It puffed up beautifully and flaked very nicely. I don't think it was the tastiest, but that's okay. This tart is so simple and so beautiful, I can see myself making it for dinner parties many times over. I kept it small, using the individual pastry squares that came in the package, and trimmed the edges to make them a little rounder. I used mini-cookie cutters on my scraps and they became puff pastry snackies, sprinkled with parmesan and baked for about 8 minutes.
The original TWD recipe is a Parisian Apple Tart, but I wasn't in the apple mood. It's summertime and all the delicious stone fruits are calling my name. Peaches, plums, nectarines, etc...I just can't get enough! I served the warm tart to Alex, topped with vanilla ice cream of course, and he loved it. He doesn't like things to be very sweet, so I only used 1 tsp of brown sugar per tart. However, it wasn't quite sweet enough for me, so next time, I'll use 1.5-2 tsp on at least some of them.
Great recipe, as always, Dorie.

OH! Peaches must have been totaly divine in this... I could try this next time and perhaps sprinkle them with lavender! Love that combination!
Very well done, Beth... thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks so much for baking along with me this week - I had peach tartlets, too, and loved them! I also love your little parmesan hearts - cute! :)
Your tartlet looks fabulous! It seems like peaches were a popular choice this week so I'll have to try that version soon!
Looks great! Good call on making little snacks out of the scraps, I felt bad wasting dough.
