Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 10 tbsp, cold and cubed unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4-6 tbsp ice water
- 4 large, pitted and sliced fresh peaches
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. To make the crust, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in a food processor. Add 10 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 2: Gradually add 4 to 6 tbsp ice water, pulsing until dough just comes together. Turn dough onto a floured surface and shape into a disk. Roll out into a 14x10-inch rectangle to fit a sheet pan.
- Step 3: Transfer dough to a parchment-lined sheet pan. Arrange 4 large sliced peaches evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Step 4: In a bowl, whisk 3 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 2 tbsp brown sugar until smooth. Pour custard evenly over the peaches.
- Step 5: Fold the dough edges over the filling to create a rustic border. Bake for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and custard is set.
- Step 6: Let the tart cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing into squares to serve.
