Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup mini tart pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until crumbly. Add egg yolk and ice water, mixing until the dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut out circles to fit the mini tart pans. Press dough into the pans, pricking the bottoms with a fork.
Blind bake for 10-12 minutes, then remove parchment paper and bake for another 3-5 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
In a bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add sour cream and mix well. Spoon the cream cheese filling into cooled tart shells.
Arrange thin peach slices on top of the filling. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle cinnamon if desired.
Chill for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For a nutty crust, mix crushed graham crackers or almonds into the dough.

For a vegan version, substitute with dairy-free cream cheese and yogurt.

To prevent soggy peaches, slice them just before topping the tarts and blot them dry.

Can be made ahead and refrigerated for 1-2 days.
