Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a food processor, pulse 1 1/2 cups almond flour with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 6 tbsp cold diced unsalted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 large egg and pulse until dough comes together.
- Step 2: Press the almond dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake crust for 12 minutes until lightly golden.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, toss 4 sliced ripe peaches with 1/4 cup honey, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a bowl until peaches are evenly coated.
- Step 4: Arrange the honey-peach slices over the pre-baked crust in overlapping layers.
- Step 5: Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes until peaches are tender and caramelized and crust edges are golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
