Mini Peach PhylloTarts
"These are the cutest, tastiest miniature peach tarts. They are made up of layers of phyllo dough brushed with butter and cinnamon-sugar in between, cut into squares, then stuffed into muffin tins and filled with a sweet spiced peach filling. Enjoy as-is or with a dollop of fresh vanilla whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream."

- Yields:
-
12 Mini Tarts
ingredients
- 8 ounces phyllo pastry sheets
- 5 -6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 5 -6 peaches, skins removed
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Onto a clean, dry work surface, place phyllo dough sheets. Cover with a damp towel (but not overly wet). Make sure there is an equal-sized clean, dry work space very close to the covered phyllo dough, as this will make assembly much easier.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Place one regular-sized 12-cup muffin pan nearby.
- Peel and slice peaches and place in a large bowl. Then add sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Stir to combine thoroughly and set aside.
- Carefully take first phyllo sheet from the top of the stack and lay it onto the prepared clean, dry work surface. Re-cover the stack with the damp towel.
- Gently brush a light layer of butter onto the phyllo sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture, top with another phyllo sheet and repeat until four sheets have been stacked and buttered.
- With a pastry cutter or pizza cutter, gently cut phyllo into six evenly-spaced squares.
- Carefully tuck phyllo squares into muffin cups. Spoon peach filling into the center of each (about 6 peach slices in each cup).
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!

Doesn't 6 squares make 6 tarts? Recipe says yields 12.

I didn't have enough peaches so I added 1/2 cup of blueberries to make mixed fruit tarts.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
