freshpeachtart

 

Dough
1 1/3 cups Martha White® All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
1/4 cup ice water

 

Filling
Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 pounds fresh ripe firm peaches, pitted, peeled and
sliced 3/4–inch thick
1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon cream or milk

 

1. Combine flour, salt and 1 tablespoon sugar in bowl of food processor. Pulse to blend. Add butter and pulse until about the size of small peas. Drizzle water over mixture. Pulse 8 to 12 times or until dough forms small clumps. Turn out onto waxed paper. Shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days or freeze up to 1 month.)

 

2. Heat oven to 450° F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray. Roll dough into 12-inch circle on lightly floured surface. Place on prepared baking sheet. Combine 1/3 cup sugar and cornstarch in small bowl. Sprinkle over peaches.
Toss to coat.

 

3. Arrange peaches in center of dough to within 3-inches of edge. Fold dough over peaches making pleats and leaving about 5-inch opening of peaches. Pinch pleats and press down to seal. Brush dough with egg yolk mixture. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.

 

4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and set pan on cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

 

Makes 6 servings
Tip: If juices leaked onto baking sheet during baking, loosen those areas while tart is warm. For easier clean-up, baking sheet may be covered with foil and sprayed with no-stick cooking spray.
