Tuesdays with Dorie: Crunchy & Custardy Peach Tart

It's peach season, baby.

I love my peaches fresh, straight from the tree 90 percent of the time. But after that I love to mix them into shakes, enjoy peach jam, peach pies, peaches and cream and now this delicious Crunchy and Custardy Peach Tart that I made for Tuesdays with Dorie.

This was a simple tart. The recipe calls for (my favorite) sweet tart dough by Dorie, three fresh peaches and a simple custard that has a tad bit of pure almond extract. This tart was simple yes, but still a bit time consuming. It was worth the wait.

I hope you'll head over to Sweet Tarte's blog, she chose the recipe (and posted it) this week and I thank her.  Check out the Leave Your Link post to see for the rest of the tarts that my fellow TWD Bakers made.

I didn't quite understand how to do it.

Wow, you really got a lot of peaches in yours. Looks de-lish! I'm glad I made it and darn, it's better today cold from the fridge if you ask me.

It looks wonderful! I'll have to make it again and get more peaches in this time.

That tart is a piece of art. Too beautiful to eat, not that I wouldn't take a piece and devour it.

I like it with more peaches. I have to try this, next time.

There's about 1/4 of this thing left in our fridge right now, and I'm not gonna lie: It probably won't make it through the night.

I knew I'd eat the whole thing. I'm just glad I spaced it out over several... hours.

Great work, Becky!

Paula said...

I agree with Chocolatechic. Your picture should be in the book. I didn't get the arrangement instructions at all.
