Homemade Peach Tart Recipe
This Homemade Peach Tart combines fresh yellow peaches arranged on a flaky puff pastry crust, brushed with an egg wash for a golden edge. The peaches are topped with a mixture of melted butter and brown sugar, sprinkled with cinnamon for warmth and caramelized flavor after baking. It offers a tender, fruit-topped dessert with a crisp pastry base.
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.
