Directions
To make the fresh peach tart:
1. Lightly grease a 10″ cast iron skillet with butter.
2. In your food processor, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold butter and pulse quickly until the butter gets a coarse-grainy texture, about 5 seconds. Sprinkle the water over the mixture and pulse until just moistened and crumbly, about 5 seconds. Pulse by increment until you get the proper texture.
3. Remove the dough from the food processor. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead a few times with your hands until the dough comes together into a nice ball. Flatten the dough into a thick disk. Flour your work surface again and dust the disc of dough with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a circle 8 to 10 inches in diameter. You can sprinkle more flour as you go to prevent the dough from sticking.
4. Transfer the flattened dough to the cast iron skillet and refrigerate while you prepare the almond filling.
5. Make the almond cream filling: Place the butter and the sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix together. Add the almond meal and mix to combine.
6. Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the filling, gently beating until well combined. Finish by adding the flour and combining until well mixed.
7. Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) when ready to bake the peach tart.
8. Fill the tart crust with the almond cream filling and smooth it with a spatula.
9. Arrange sliced peaches evenly and slightly press them onto the filling.
10. Bake the peach tart for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden, the filling is set, and the peaches are golden and slightly caramelized and bubbly. Cut the baked peach tart into slices and serve. Enjoy!
