Peach Tart

Peaches were on sale recently so I picked up a few to make something delicious. I altered an apple tarte tatin recipe for this one. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Pie Crust
1 1/2 sticks cold butter, cubed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/8 cup very cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 fresh peaches sliced
Pinch of cinnamon
1 egg, lightly beaten

Directions:

1. Cut butter into chunks.
2. Mix flour, sugar, and salt.
3. Add butter and work into flour, being careful not to over mix.
4. Whisk in egg, water, and vanilla.
5. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 375 degreesF.
7. Roll out pie crust to diameter of pan. (I used a glass pie pan.) Allow the crust to hang over the edges so that you can fold it over the filling.
8. In a medium sized bowl mix the melted butter & sugar with the peaches, cinnamon, and egg. Make sure fruit is well coated.
9. Pour into pie crust and fold over edges.
10. Use a pastry brush to swipe the bowl's leftover egg and sugar to brush the top of the crust for a glossy look.
11. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until GB&D*.


Shelley's tip: You can substitute different fruits for this recipe. Apple, berry, or even plums to name a few.
*GB&D- Golden brown and delicious!

Happy baking!
