Creating Peach and Cream Cheese Mini Tarts is simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter to cut out circles that will fit into a muffin tin.
3. Place Crust in Muffin Tin: Gently press each circle into the greased muffin tin, ensuring they cover the sides and bottom.
4. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Fill the Tart Shells: Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into each tart shell.
6. Prepare the Peaches: In a separate bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice to prevent browning.
7. Add Peaches: Arrange the peach slices on top of the cream cheese filling in each tart.
8. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the exposed crust of the tarts.
9. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Cool the Tarts: Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
11. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the cooled tarts with powdered sugar before serving.

These simple steps will guide you in creating these incredible mini tarts effortlessly.
