Homemade Peach Tart Recipe
Description
The Homemade Peach Tart Recipe features sliced fresh yellow peaches layered closely on a rolled-out puff pastry sheet. The pastry edges are brushed with an egg and milk wash to encourage browning and a delicate crust. A sugary topping made from melted unsalted butter and packed light brown sugar is spooned over the peaches, followed by a dusting of ground cinnamon. Baking at 425°F for about 25 to 30 minutes crisps the pastry and tenderizes the peaches, allowing their natural sweetness to come forward with a hint of spice.
The crisp, flaky puff pastry contrasts with the soft and juicy peaches, highlighted by the sweet brown sugar and aromatic cinnamon topping. This tart can be served at room temperature, warm, or chilled, optionally accompanied by fresh berries for added freshness and color.
This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to four days or frozen for up to three months. To reheat, warm portions briefly in the oven to preserve crispness. Using store-bought frozen puff pastry is a convenient shortcut without compromising texture or flavor, and canned peaches can be used as an alternative to fresh when fresh peaches are out of season.
Ingredients
- 6 peach fresh, yellow
- 1/3 puff pastry recipe or 1 frozen and thawed sheet
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk whole
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°.
- Slice the peaches in half and remove the pit.
- Roll out the puff pastry dough sheet on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper until it reaches about an inch from the sides of the tray.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk, then using a pastry brush, brush the outside 2” with the egg wash.
- Place the peaches tightly next to each other onto the puff pastry sheet, but not placing them where you brushed with the egg wash. It’s ok if they overlay a little.
- In a medium-sized bowl mix together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined,
- Top off the peaches with the butter and brown sugar mixture and then the cinnamon.
- Bake in the oven at 425° for 25 to 30 minutes or until the dough is crispy brown and cooked through. The peaches should be tender.
- Cool to room temperature and serve it with optional fresh berries.
Notes
- You can prepare this tart one day in advance to save time on serving day.
- Store the tart covered in the refrigerator for up to four days or freeze it wrapped for up to three months.
- To reheat, warm pieces in the oven at 350°F for 4 to 6 minutes to maintain the crisp pastry texture.
- This tart can be served cold, at room temperature, or warmed according to preference.
- Using frozen thawed puff pastry is convenient and works well in place of homemade dough.
- For a sweeter tart, increase the amount of brown sugar in the topping.
- If fresh peaches are unavailable, canned peach halves can be used as a substitute.
