Crust:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

2 tablespoons sour cream

Filling:

About 6 medium peaches, peeled and sliced*, or 1 (28-ounce) can and 1 (16-ounce) can sliced peaches in light syrup, well drained

3 large egg yolks

3/4 cup sour cream

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Glaze:

1/2 cup peach preserves or jelly, warmed

1 tablespoon frozen lemonade concentrate

Preheat the oven the 375 degrees F.

To make the crust, place the flour, butter, and sour cream in food processor and pulse to combine. When the dough has formed a ball, pat with lightly floured hands into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and 1/2-inch sides, or a round au gratin dish. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust is set but not browned. Let cool while preparing the filling.

Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

To make the filling, if using fresh peaches, peel and thickly slice the peaches. Arrange the fresh or canned peach slices in overlapping circles on top of the crust, until it's completely covered. Overfill the crust, as peaches will draw up during cooking. Combine the egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, and flour and beat until smooth. Pour the mixture over the peaches.

Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, until the custard sets and is pale golden in color. Cover with an aluminum foil tent if the crust gets too dark.

Transfer the tart pan to a wire rack to cool. When cool, remove the side wall of the pan. To make the glaze, combine the preserves or jelly and lemonade. Spread with a pastry brush over the top of the warm tart. Serve the tart warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

*Cook's Note: If using fresh peaches, sprinkle with a little lemon juice after slicing.

Great find!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was very, very good! The only thing I changed was to use cream cheese in place of the sour cream, since I was out. Next... time I will try it the way it was meant to be, will probably save just a few calories too! This recipe is very versitile, you could try it with any fruit and have a hit! 5 starts for the taste and ease of prep. Anyone could whip this together, it's foolproof! Read more

Easy & Great Taste
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had to add a little more butter & sour cream before the food processor would bring the crust together in a ball. I just... kept adding equal parts of both (about 2 tablespoons more total) until the ball form. Other than that I followed the recipe to a ' T ' & it was great and very pretty on the table. One note to mention if you have leftovers for more than a day, put in frig or the custard gets runny which makes the crust soggy.Read more

Absolutely Divine, Y'all!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had a bunch of fresh peaches to use up, and zeroed in on this recipe. I added some sugar to the crust (to make it like... shortbread) and a bit of vanilla and almond extract to the custard. Everything turned out beautifully (make sure to bake long enough so that the custard is very set). My husband is hard to impress with a dessert that doesn't involve chocolate, and he's still raving about it! This is an absolute winner! Good one, Paula Deen!Read more

Easy and delicious!

Our peach tree was overflowing with peaches this year, and I wanted to try something different than the regular pie. The... crust was really easy to make, and the tart was delicious. This is a new family favorite!Read more

I love having recipes where I can use canned fruit if fresh is not in season. I made this tart with fresh peaches and it... not only looks beautiful. but tastes great as well. Great with fresh whipped cream.Read more

Love it!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for my friends and they love it. Very easy to make. I used can peaches . Will try making this with blueberries as... they are my husband favorite. Made it with fresh apples that I had left over from my fruit supply. Added some lemon juice and cinnamon to the apples and microwave for one minute to make sure apples would be cooked thru. I placed the apple slices around the crust just like the peaches. Glazed the top of the pie with apples jelly and a little fresh lemon juice to make it spread better. It took a few minutes longer to make sure the apples were done. Would make this again and will keep trying it with different fruits. This was the first time I made it with the peaches and was so good ,that is why I will keep trying it with different fruit. Just change up your glaze to go with the different fruits. Adding the fresh lemon juice instead of frozen orange juice makes little waste and wokrs just as good Read more
