For the Crust:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 egg yolk
• 2-3 tablespoons ice water

For the Almond Filling:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

For the Peach Topping:

• 3-4 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons apricot jam (optional, for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions​

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Add the egg yolk and ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough starts to come together.
   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Almond Filling:
   • In a bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
   • Add the almond flour, egg, almond extract, and all-purpose flour, mixing until smooth and well combined.
3. Assemble the Tart:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim any excess dough.
   • Spread the almond filling evenly over the bottom of the crust.
   • Arrange the peach slices in a circular pattern on top of the almond filling, overlapping slightly.
4. Bake the Tart:
   • Bake the tart for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the almond filling is set.
   • If desired, warm the apricot jam slightly and brush it over the top of the tart for a shiny glaze.
   • Sprinkle with sliced almonds if desired.
5. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the tart cool completely before removing it from the pan.
   • Slice and serve.

Enjoy this Peach Almond Tart as a delicious and elegant dessert that’s perfect for showcasing fresh, juicy peaches!

Hey everyone! The buttery crust and almond filling are rich, and the peaches add the perfect touch of sweetness. I added a bit of apricot jam on top for some extra shine and a sprinkle of sliced almonds for a nice crunch. Has anyone else tried this yet?

Hello! Yum, peach almond tart sounds fantastic! I think it would be great for summer gatherings, though I’m interested in how you balance the sweetness of the peaches.
