Ingredients

Scale

Pastry and Glaze

  • 1 sheet of puffed pastry, thawed for 20 minutes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream, more if needed

Fruit Filling

  • 3 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare Puff Pastry: Remove the puffed pastry sheet from the freezer and thaw it at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes until it can be unfolded easily without cracking.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Make Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water until well combined; set aside for brushing the pastry edges later.
  4. Prepare Fruit Filling: Thinly slice peaches and place them in a large bowl. Add granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Toss well to coat all peach slices evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture and set aside.
  5. Unfold Pastry: Gently unfold the thawed puffed pastry onto the prepared baking sheet, mending any cracks by pressing pieces together with damp fingers.
  6. Assemble Tart: Arrange the peach slices tightly in three neat rows on the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the peaches.
  7. Brush Pastry Edges: Lightly brush the exposed 1-inch border of the puff pastry with the prepared egg wash for a golden finish.
  8. Bake Tart: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through, until the pastry is puffed, golden, and the peaches are tender.
  9. Prepare Vanilla Glaze: While the tart bakes, combine confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and milk or heavy cream in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth, adding more cream if necessary to reach desired pouring consistency.
  10. Serve: Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Drizzle with the vanilla glaze just before serving. Optionally, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • If your puff pastry cracks when unfolding, gently press the cracks with slightly wet fingers to seal them.
  • Peeling peaches is easier if you briefly blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then plunge into ice water.
  • You can substitute milk with heavy cream in the glaze for a richer flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use vegan puff pastry, a flax egg for egg wash, and plant-based milk for the glaze.
  • Serve the tart warm for best flavor and texture, especially with the vanilla glaze.
