Peach tart: the recipe for a delicious dessert with almond cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tart Crust:
   • In a food processor, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
   • Add the egg yolk and cold water, then pulse again until the dough comes together.
   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Make the Almond Cream:
   • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the egg, almond meal, vanilla extract, and flour. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
3. Assemble the Tart:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your tart pan (about 9 inches). Press it into the pan and trim any excess dough.
   • Spread the almond cream filling evenly over the tart crust.
   • Arrange the sliced peaches in a decorative pattern on top of the almond cream.
4. Bake the Tart:
   • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden, the almond cream is set, and the peaches are tender.
5. Finishing Touch:
   • If desired, heat the honey or apricot jam in a small saucepan and brush it over the peaches for a beautiful, glossy finish.
6. Cool & Serve:
   • Allow the tart to cool to room temperature before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled.

Tips and Variations:

⭐ Add a Dash of Spice – Incorporate a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the almond cream for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
⭐ Use Other Fruits – While peaches are a classic choice, this tart works beautifully with apricots, plums, or even berries.
⭐ Make It Ahead – The tart can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
