This easy to make peach tart is made with a buttery pie crust, a cream cheese filling and baked peaches on top.
Sometimes when I go to the farmers’ market I get carried away and buy more things that we can eat and this is why I wanted to make a tart, as I had a lot of peaches and grapes to use.
Would you believe that this is the first time I am making a tart? I was kind of afraid to try making tarts and although I bought a tart pan many years ago, I never used it.
After reading some recipes, I saw it was quite easy, so I decided it was about time to make my first attempt. See step by step instructions here. (You will be seeing more recipes soon, as I have already made two more).
For the filling and topping I already decided what to do before finding a recipe.
At the beginning I planned to use only peaches but the tart looked empty so I filled in the gaps with the grapes and this makes it look and taste even better, but if you don’t have any, just add the peaches.
Instead of following the directions to place crust weights on the crust and bake it for 25 minutes I baked it together with the filling for about 1 hour until golden brown and filling was almost set.
I am send this recipe to Bee and Jai of Jugalbandi, whose theme for their month’s Click Event is crusts.
I am also sending this recipe to Sophie, of Key Ingredient’s Kick Cooks Kitchen, who are hosting an event on Apples or Peaches
