📌 What's In The Peach Tart?

Tart Dough

• All-purpose flour
• Powdered sugar
• Salt
• Almond flour
• Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• Egg

Check out this post for my tart dough recipe to learn about the ingredients in more detail.

Fresh Peach

• Today, I mixed up two kinds of peach: white and yellow ones. It might be a preference, but I prefer white peach better for the smell. Yellow peach is more tart and looks very pretty. You can choose whichever you like!

Almond Cream

• Unsalted butter
  • Use very soft butter so that it blends well with other ingredients.
• Powdered sugar
  • It creates a finer texture than granulated sugar.
• Salt
  • It adds depth in flavor.
• Almond flour
  • Use any finely milled almond flour.
• All-purpose flour
  • It prevents the almond cream from getting too wet and creates a fluffier texture.
• Egg
  • It helps to create a fluffy texture.
• Vanilla beans
  • The exotic vanilla bean flavor goes so well with the peach. You can also use vanilla extract or omit it. 
• Lemon zest
• Lemon juice
  • The extra acidity from the lemon makes this tart taste more refreshing.

Glaze + Decorations

[Glaze]

• Apricot jam or Peach jam
  • Apricot jam matches well with peach. You can also use peach jam instead.
• Water
  • It loosens the jam so you can brush it on a tart easier.
• Lemon juice
  • The acidity gives the tart a more vivid flavor.

[Decoration]

• Almond slices (toasted)
  •  It adds such an amazing crunchiness to it. 
• Pistachio (optional)
  • The color stands out on top of the tart.

📌 How To Make Peach Tart

11 Steps To Make Almond Peach Tart

Tart Dough

1. Make half batch of my tart dough recipe.
   • Let it rest in the fridge for at least one hour to a few hours. You can also make it a day before to omit the waiting time.
2. Roll it very thin; 0.1 inches | 2 - 3 mm thickness.
   • Chill it in the fridge again if it is too soft to handle.
3. Set it on a tart pan. (I used 1 9.5-inch pan this time)
   • Check out the tart crust tutorial to see how to do it, or check out the video instruction of this recipe to see it visually.
   • Once done, chill it in the fridge (Freeze, preferably) while working on the fresh peaches and almond cream.

Fresh Peach

4. Cut peaches into 4 pieces. (Leave the skins on.) And slice each of them very thinly. Lay it down like a domino and place it on a tray with a paper towel to remove excess moisture beforehand. Set it aside.

Almond Cream

5. Mix soft butter, powdered sugar, and salt with a whisk until it looks smooth. (No need to whip a lot!)
6. Add eggs, almond flour, and all-purpose flour and mix until it looks smooth again.
7. Finally, add all the flavors: vanilla beans, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and mix until everything is incorporated.
   • Clean the side and bottom of a bowl with a spatula to ensure it is evenly mixed.
8. Spread the almond cream evenly over the chilled tart and assemble the sliced peaches.
   • Chill the tart in the fridge for 30 - 60 minutes before baking it when it gets soft again during this step.
9. Bake (Preheated) at 350 F | 175 C for 30 - 35 mins, turn it down to 330 F | 165 C, and bake for another 25 - 30 mins until the cream is darkened evenly and not wet.
   • Adjust the time & temperature accordingly, depending on the oven, pan size, etc.

Glaze + Decorations

10. Heat apricot jam, water, and lemon juice until it starts boiling hard. Apply it all over the almond cream and peaches.
    • Strain it if the jam contains chunks of apricot.
11. Sprinkle some toasted almond slices and diced pistachios (optional) to finish it off!
    • Toasted almond slices: Bake at 330 F | 165 C  for 4 - 7 mins.

Now, let me share detailed tips on each step that is crucial for making the peach tart successful.

First, let's start with the tart dough.

Step 1: Make half batch of my tart dough recipe.

Follow all the steps in this post to make a half-batch of tart dough.

💬 This time, I made one batch of the recipe, divided it in half, and used only one of them for 1 9.5-inch tart pan. (I stored the rest in the freezer for later use.) You'll find the half-batch of the ingredients at the end of the post in the printable recipe!

Step 2: Roll it very thin; 0.1 inches | 2 - 3 mm thickness.

I am also sharing how to roll the dough in the pie dough post. Check out all the essential tips listed there. Or, check out the video instruction for this recipe to see it visually.

💬 This time, I left the dough at room temperature for about 15 minutes so that it would not be too hard.

👩🏻‍🍳 I highly recommend rolling it very thin to enjoy the very delicate crispiness. It doesn't taste so good when the dough is very thick!

The dough is very fragile when it's soft. Chill it in the fridge if it's too soft to handle at this point!

Step 3: Set it on a tart pan. (I used 1 9.5-inch pan this time)

💡 Apply some bread flour on the bottom so that the tart comes off easier later. 

Also, check out the tart dough recipe to learn how to set the tart dough in a pan.

🌬️ Chill it in the fridge (Freeze it preferably.) while working on what goes in the tart: fresh peaches and almond cream. You can assemble them more easily when the dough is cold.

Step 4: Cut peaches into 4 pieces. And slice each of them very thinly. Lay it down like a domino and place it on a tray with a paper towel.

💬  Make cuts on top like in the image above (right) when it doesn't come off easily.

 The benefits of cutting peaches thinly:

• Cutting the tart with a fork gets easier when it's sliced.
• It cooks peaches a little bit faster and more evenly. 
• It's eye-catching!

Do this ahead of time to remove the excess liquids from the peach.

👩🏻‍🍳 This tart tastes better with ripe peach. But it will be much harder to slice when it's very soft. It shouldn't be too firm or too jiggly when you touch it!

Next, let's make almond cream!

Step 5: Mix soft butter, powdered sugar, and salt with a whisk until smooth.

Mix butter to ensure it's completely soft.

⚠️ It's important to use very soft butter so that it blends easily.

💬 It's very thick at the very beginning. But keep mixing, and it will get smooth!

Step 6: Add eggs, almond flour, and all-purpose flour and mix until it looks smooth again.

💡 There is no need to whip almond cream. It actually rises too much in the oven when it's whipped A LOT. Move to the next step after it looks nice and smooth.

Step 7: Finally, add all the flavors: vanilla beans, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and mix until everything is incorporated.

In the end, clean the bowl to ensure it's evenly mixed.

Step 8: Spread the almond cream evenly over the chilled tart and assemble the sliced peaches.

Slide peaches down like in the image below:

💡 Depending on how fast you can finish this, there is a high chance that the tart dough will get soft again. So that is why I always like to chill it back in the fridge for about 30 minutes to 1 hour so that the top dough will not slide down as you bake it in the oven.

Step 9: Bake (Preheated) at 350 F | 175 C for 30-35 mins and turn it down to 330 F | 165 C, and bake for another 25-30 mins

Bake until golden brown around the surface and the cream is completely cooked.

Let's make the glaze while it's cooling down.

Step 10: Heat apricot jam, water, and lemon juice until it starts boiling hard. Apply it all over the almond cream and peaches.

⚠️ Strain it if the jam contains chunks of apricot.

👩🏻‍🍳 Tap the brush gently instead of rubbing the surface so that the peach is not going to move.

It's a good amount of glaze, but I highly recommend applying all of it!

Step 11: Sprinkle some toasted almond slices and diced pistachios.

🔥 Toast the almond at 330 F | 165 C  for 4 - 7 mins.

I love the contrast of green and orange colors.

And it is complete!

It is so delicious, and the steps are fairly simple, especially because you don't have to blind-bake the tart.

I hope you'll enjoy it with your friends and family and enjoy this summer!

📌 How To Slice Peach Tart

⚠️ To keep the peaches in place, rock the knife back and forth until you cut through them. Check the video tutorial to see it visually. A bladed knife works better most of the time!

📌 Uses For Peach Tart

I enjoyed it with vanilla ice cream this time.

A slice of it can easily turn into a fancy-plated dessert with it!🍨

It would also taste amazing with peach or citrusy ice cream!

There are not so many tarts that look fabulous, and you can transport them so easily without worrying about them getting soft.

In the past, I made this almond tart for catering orders, selling outside, such as at Farmer's Market, and even brought them for my past interviews. I love them!
