If desserts with the word pie, tart or crostata intimidate you, take heart for you too can make this yummy treat. It is as simple as 1-2-3-4-5; place the piecrust in the tart pan, spread a little jelly or preserves over the crust, place the sliced peaches over the crust then fold in the extra crust, bake awhile then add a little more jelly and sugar, bake a little while longer then you are done.

Rustic Peach Tart is the type of recipe I love; the type that makes me look like a great chef. It is ridiculously easy to prepare, delicious, gorgeous and is one of my go-to favorites. It is also a recipe that can be made using many other fruits such as apples or pears.
So, to keep your family happy any time of the year; keep your tart pan ready and fresh fruit in the house. It’s as easy as 1-2-3-4-5!

Rustic Peach Tart
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made single pie crust (or your favorite homemade pie crust)
- ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons peach preserves. Apple jelly can be substituted.
- 3-4 firm peaches peeled (opt.) and cut into ½-inch wedges
- Confectioners’ sugar for dusting, opt.
- Turbinado or sugar with large crystals
- Cinnamon Sugar - opt.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
- If using a store-bought crust, take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before using.
- Place a single pie crust in the bottom of a tart pan and let the edges hang over.
- Pierce the crust in the bottom of the pan with a fork.
- Spread ¼ cup preserves over the pie crust in the bottom of the pan (not up the sides).
- Arrange the peach slices in concentric circles on top of the crust.
- Fold the crust that is overlapping the sides inward to partially cover the peaches; Note that only the outer portion of the peaches will be covered.
- Bake 20 minutes until the crust is still pale and peaches are just a little tender.
- Take the tart out of the oven and brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of preserves over the peaches.
- Brush the crust with milk and sprinkle the entire tart with cinnamon sugar and/or turbinado sugar (sugar with large crystals).
- Bake 25-30 minutes more until the crust is golden and peaches are tender.
- If the crust is beginning to brown too quickly, lay foil over the tart, but do not secure it – the steam needs to escape or the tart crust will become soggy.
- Place the tart on a cooling rack to let cool 15-30 minutes before serving.
- When ready to serve, dust the tart with powdered (confectioner’s sugar) (opt.)
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Drizzle with warm caramel, if desired.
- Enjoy!
