Recipe: Peach Tartlet from Julia Child

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 large peaches
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 tsp Chinese 5-spice
• 1 box (15-oz) ready-to-use piecrust (2 sheets)
• 1 egg, beaten plus 1 tsp water

Instructions

Step 1

Halve the peaches, take the pits out.
Cut each half into 4 pieces (24 slices total).

Step 2

Add 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 tsp Chinese 5-spice into a small bowl. Mix well.

Step 3

Add 2 tbsp butter into a saute pan over medium heat.
Once the foams are up, dump in the apple slices.
Stir around. When it comes to a boil, add the sugar and Chinese 5-spice mixture.
Stir around. Make sure to turn the peach slices once, so they are evenly cooked.

Step 4

When the peach slices are soft and tender, transfer them into a plate.
Cut the big ready-to-use piecrust into 2 small pieces in circle.
Use your fingers to fold the edge up. Brush it with egg wash.

Step 5

Place 3 apple slices on the piecrust, 2 on the sides, 1 in the middle.
Drizzle a little bit of their sauce over. Make a few of tarlets like these.

Step 6

Bake them 15 minutes at 375F in an oven.

Step 7

Remove, cool and serve.
