Celebrate the vibrant flavors of summer with these simple Stone Fruit Tarts.

While stone fruit is often reserved for snacking, these 4-ingredient tarts are an easy way to elevate these fresh-picks into delectable desserts or a sweet breakfast pastries, especially during the peak of summer when they are at their sweetest.

The magic begins by layering your choice of stone fruit atop a bed of flaky puff pastry. This recipe features nectarines and apricots, but plums and/ or peaches would be just as delicious.

As the tarts bake to golden perfection, the flavors of the fruit intensify. To add an extra touch of indulgence, I highly suggest finishing each tart with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of turbinado raw cane sugar.

4 Ingredient Stone Fruit Tarts

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets (17.3 oz. package) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large Heinen's cage free egg mixed with a splash of water (optional for golden brown color)
  • 3-4 medium-size apricots, pitted and very thinly sliced
  • 2-3 medium-size nectarines, pitted and thinly sliced
  • Coarse turbinado raw cane sugar
  • Heinen's honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. While the pastry is thawing, thinly slice the apricots and nectarines and set aside.
  4. Lightly flour a large cutting board and carefully unfold the puff pastry. Gently roll the puff pastry into a large rectangle.
  5. Cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 squares and place them onto the baking sheet.
  6. Using a pastry brush, brush each square lightly with the egg wash.
  7. Sprinkle the sugar on each square. Top each square with an equal amount of the apricots and nectarines.
  8. Sprinkle each tart with the more sugar and a drizzle of honey.
  9. Bake the tarts for 12-15 minutes, until the tarts are golden brown and starting to become puffy.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring.

Notes: The egg wash is an important part of the process to get a beautiful golden color on the puff pastry. You can use a vegan option instead of the egg if you prefer.
