How to Make a Perfect Peach Tart
October 12, 2018
I wanted to celebrate summer one last time before this fall season formally began, so I created this tart; the sweet peaches are perfectly balanced by its filling, and its swirl design elevates its appearance to new heights.
Ingredients:
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp. very cold water
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 1⁄4 tsp. salt
- 8 tbsp. (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1⁄4-inch cubes
Filling:
- 3 lbs peaches, washed and cut into slices
- 1/2 cup honey
Instructions:
- Add all dough ingredients into a food processor and pulse until they come together. Chill them for 30 minutes.
- Make the filling by blending 1 1/2 lbs of the peach until smooth and then straining the puree. Combine the juice with the honey and heat over low heat, whisking constantly to combine.
- Roll out the dough and place it into your tart tin.
- Add the peaches in whatever pattern you like, then pour the filling over the top of the crust.
- Bake at 350 degrees until the edges of the tart are lightly browned.
- Enjoy!
