1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie dough)
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1/4 cup powdered sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 can peach slices in syrup, drained (or fresh peaches, sliced)
-
1 tablespoon peach preserves or apricot jam (optional, for glazing)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Roll out the pie crusts and cut them into circles to fit mini tart pans or a muffin tin.
-
Press the dough into the mini tart pans and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
-
While the crusts are cooling, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon together until smooth.
-
Once the crusts are cool, fill each one with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.
-
Arrange peach slices on top of the cream cheese filling, either fresh or canned peaches.
-
If desired, warm the peach preserves or apricot jam in the microwave for a few seconds, then drizzle over the top of the peaches to create a glossy finish.
-
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
You can use fresh peaches during peach season for a more vibrant flavor.
These tarts can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
