Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup ground almonds
- 8 tbsp, cold and cubed unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2-3 tbsp ice water
- 4 medium, peeled, pitted, sliced ripe peaches
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup, toasted sliced almonds
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, pulse 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup ground almonds, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, and 8 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 2: Add 2-3 tbsp ice water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough starts to come together; form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 3: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle and transfer to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; press dough evenly into pan and trim edges.
- Step 4: Toss 4 medium peeled, pitted, and sliced peaches with 1 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp almond extract in a bowl until evenly coated.
- Step 5: Arrange the peach slices evenly over the crust and bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and peaches are tender and bubbly.
- Step 6: Remove tart from oven and immediately sprinkle 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds over the top; let cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan and serving warm or at room temperature.
