Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 8 tbsp, cold and cubed unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3-4 tbsp ice water
- 4 medium, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges ripe peaches
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1, beaten for egg wash egg
- 2 tbsp for garnish powdered sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a food processor, pulse 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 8 tbsp cold unsalted butter cubes, and 2 tbsp granulated sugar until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 3-4 tbsp ice water and pulse until dough starts to come together.
- Step 2: Turn dough onto a floured surface and shape into a disc. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 3: Toss 4 sliced peeled peaches with 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1/2 tsp almond extract in a bowl until evenly coated.
- Step 4: Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 5: Arrange peach slices in concentric circles on the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the border over the edges of the peaches, pleating as needed.
- Step 6: Brush the dough edges with 1 beaten egg and sprinkle 1/4 cup sliced almonds over the peaches and crust edge.
- Step 7: Bake for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are tender and bubbling.
- Step 8: Let cool slightly, then dust with 2 tbsp powdered sugar before serving.
