Equipment
large baking sheet
chopping board and sharp knife
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan) / 395F. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
Slice the peaches in half and discard the stone. Cut each half into 8 slices.
In a medium bowl, combine the peach slices, sugar, vanilla and cornflour. Mix well to coat them.
Keeping the sheet of puff pastry dough on the plastic it came on or on a chopping board. Slice the puff pastry into 9 squares.
Arrange 3-4 peach slices onto each square.
Brush the egg wash over the puff pastry around the edges of the peaches. Transfer the tarts to the freezer for 15 minutes (if you have space) or the fridge for 30 minutes - the pastry will puff better, the colder it is.
Transfer the mini peach tarts to the prepared sheet pan about 1 ½ inches apart (you may need to bake in batches) and bake for 20-23 minutes until deep golden brown around the edges.
In a small bowl, combine the icing sugar, milk and cinnamon. Mix well. Add a little more milk if it needs to be a more pourable consistency.
When ready to serve, drizzle over the cinnamon icing. These tarts can be served warm or at room temperature. If serving at room temperature wait until they've cooled to pour over the icing.
