Ingredients

• 180 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 115 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3 tablespoons ice water
• 5 pieces ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9-inch tart pan with a removable base.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together but is not sticky. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough chills, prepare the peach filling by combining the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit into the tart pan. Gently press the dough into the pan, trimming any overhang.

Step 8

Arrange the peach slices in the tart shell, overlapping them in a circular pattern for a decorative effect.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the tart crust with the egg wash.

Step 10

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender.

Step 11

Allow the tart to cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Peach Tart with a Ginger Crust!
