    Easiest Rustic Peach Tart

    Whether you call this a Peach Tart or a Peach Galette, you will definitely call it delicious! 

    Fresh summer peaches and an easy rustic crust are the perfect dessert.  Top with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!

    Even if you think you are not a baker, you can make this tart! The dough comes together in minutes in the food processor!

    Two plates with a slice of peach tart and a scoop of ice cream on top!

    Easiest pastry crust!

    I've come on here many times saying that I don't bake.  I usually say this on a post where I obviously did bake.  Perhaps what I should say is that I rarely bake, because baking terrifies me.  

    I can count on one hand the number of pie crusts that I have made.  Actually I can count on one finger the number of pie crusts that I have made.

    If I had known that I could make a delicious pastry crust in my food processor in minutes, I would have baked more!

    Really, even if you don't consider yourself a baker, you can make this rustic peach tart!

    Ingredients

    All purpose flour - sometimes I substitute ½ to a ¼ cup of whole wheat flour for the all purpose. It gives a little bit more of a nutty flavor.

    Sugar - regular white granulated sugar is fine. You'll need sugar for the crust and for the peaches.

    Butter - you need cold butter. I like to buy grass fed butter, usually a brand from Ireland.

    Ice water - again you want it cold.

    Salt - just a pinch is all you need!

    Peaches - fresh, ripe summer peaches. I have made these with frozen peaches, just let them thaw first.

    Instructions

    Cut the butter into ¼ to ½ inch chunks.

    In your favorite food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt with a full pulses. Add the butter and pulse until it's forms a coarse crumb.

    Add the water a little at a time, while you are pulsing the food processor. You want the dough to just come together.

    Remove the dough from the food processor and roll it around a bit to shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge, while you prepare the peaches.

    Wash, pit and slice the peaches. You can peel them, but I like the rustic look of the peels.

    Place the peaches in a bowl and toss with a pinch of salt and the sugar. Let them rest for about 30 minutes.

    While the peaches are resting, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400.

    Bring the dough out of the fridge and roll into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Rustic is good, here. Place the circle of dough on the baking sheet.

    Spoon the peaches in the center of the dough, leaving about 1 ½ of dough around the edge. Fold up that edge. You won't be covering all the peaches, just making a little rim of dough around them.

    Bake for 35 minutes.

    Fruit tart with a scoop of ice cream on the top.

    I know it looks like a lot of instructions, but I just went through it carefully step by step. Believe me, if I say it's easy, it's easy.

    I've since made this with blueberries (added a little lemon zest) and raspberries. Oooh.. as I typed that I realized that raspberries and peaches would be great together, wouldn't they?

    You'll definitely want to top this with some vanilla ice cream, so good!

      This dough works well with other stone fruit such as apricots, nectarines, cherries or a mixture of these. A delicious treat indeed!

      Even though it always turns out well, I'm always slightly terrified by pastry too, Pam! Your Rustic Peach Tart looks beautiful. I love crusts like that, and I love peach pie too! Stumbled. Thank you for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Hop.

      I've been making my own pie crust for years, but recently I've just gotten so irritated with it that I've been (shamefully!) buying them at the grocery store! It certainly keeps my blood pressure down. This looks delicious!

      The peach tart looks great. I tend to add a little cinnamon to the peach. #SaucySaturdays

      Looks terrific! Pie crust is easy in the food processor...and for me to say that it must be true, because you know I"m pie crust-phobic.

      This looks great, I want to try to make it when our peaches ripen. I tried to pin it and I get a message that nothing is pinnable?
