Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 4 cups fresh peaches (ripe, peeled, and sliced)
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unit egg (beaten for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.
Add the cold diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse sand.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Pile the peach mixture into the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.
Gently fold the edges of the dough over the peaches, pleating as needed to create a rustic edge. The center should remain exposed.
Brush the folded edges of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden, sparkly finish.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender and bubbling.
Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
