TWD: Crunchy, Custardy Peach Tart
I actually made this week’s TWD early on Friday. Can you believe that? I’m usually scrambling in the kitchen on Tuesday afternoons. I made this Crunchy, Custardy Peach Tart, chosen by Rachel, for our date-night-in, since we’re waiting until this weekend when our babysitter starts. Hooray for weekly alone time!
I’ve already sung the praises of Georgia peaches to you, so I won’t do that again. This tart could be made with any tasty stone fruit- plums or nectarines would be divine. The tart is made with a sweet, nutty crust, layered with peaches, covered with cream, and then topped with nutty streusel. Hand me a fork.
Dorie’s recipe called for a 9-inch tart pan, but I only have an 11-inch. Luckily there was enough dough to make the stretch, and I had about a zillion peaches to use, so no problems with the fruit layer. The crust came out a little dark on the edges for me, but that could be because of the larger pan/stretched crust issue. In the future, I’ll add a little extra dough.
This is a nice summer treat. I think it would be a nice addition at potlucks since it can be served at any temperature. I love the topping (obvi) and the sweet fruit and cream are delicious match.
Thanks to Rachel at Sweet Tarte, whose tart looks beautiful!

Oh my word, my husband would LOVE this! I can’t wait for him to make this for us…he’s the baker in the family!
Gorgeous tart! Your photos are lovely.
SO pretty! Your tart looks fabulous. Perfect for a date night in 🙂 Thanks for baking with me this week!
Beautiful tart! Love the almonds scattered on the tablecloth! 🙂
I loved this tart too, even though I haven’t got any Georgia peaches. Yours looks amazing, and I hope I have a chance to make it again before the peaches are done.

This looks lovely! Ga peaches are the best! 🙂
