Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.
Add 0.75 cups of chilled unsalted butter, cubed, to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of cold water over the mixture and stir with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently, forming it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In another bowl, combine 0.5 cups of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
Incorporate 4 peeled and sliced peaches into the sugar mixture, and add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Toss to coat the peaches evenly.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Place the dough into the tart pan, pressing it gently into the edges and trimming any excess.
Arrange the peach mixture evenly over the tart shell.
Brush the edges of the crust with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to give it a golden hue during baking.
Bake the tart in your preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the peaches are tender.
Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a perfect treat.
