Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 4 medium Fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

Add 0.75 cups of chilled unsalted butter, cubed, to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of cold water over the mixture and stir with a fork until the dough begins to come together.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently, forming it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

In another bowl, combine 0.5 cups of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.

Step 7

Incorporate 4 peeled and sliced peaches into the sugar mixture, and add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Toss to coat the peaches evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Place the dough into the tart pan, pressing it gently into the edges and trimming any excess.

Step 9

Arrange the peach mixture evenly over the tart shell.

Step 10

Brush the edges of the crust with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to give it a golden hue during baking.

Step 11

Bake the tart in your preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the peaches are tender.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a perfect treat.
