Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

Filling:

  • About 6 medium peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 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
  • 1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate
  • Mint, forgarnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

To make the crust:

Place the flour, butter, and sour cream in a 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 peach slices in overlapping circles on top of the crust, until it's completely covered. Overfill the crust, as peaches will shrink 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 orange juice. Spread with a pastry brush over the top of the warm tart. Serve the tart warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Garnish with fresh mint.

    I had made the peach one before and it was great. Today I made it with a bag of frozen raspberries. I put the zest of one... lemon in the custard. OMG it was fabulous! The crust is awesome.Read more

    INCREDIBLE

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe is now one of my absolute favorite! I didn't have fresh peaches so I used two cans of peaches and it turned out... perfect. I also had to substitute plain yogurt for sour cream. I made this for my family for dessert and with 5 of us they were almost going to lick the pan clean. I love how it is like a custard and not to sweet. One of my favorite recipes of all. THANKS PAULA!Read more

    My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I followed it to a T, and used firm canned peaches. It looks so great my family... was impressed. This was so simple even a cave man can do it and it turns out great.Read more

    Easy, decadent and perfect!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The crust is unbelievably easy, but I used cold butter with fantastic results. The peaches are tough to handle after they... are peeled, but if you use "freestone" peaches they're a snap. This came out great, as all Paula's recipes do. You ROCK, girl! Chef BobRead more

    Delicious!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Even though I used canned peaches, it turned out delicious and flavorful. My entire family loved it. I did not have the glaze... ingredients on hand, so I just used a little bit of the corn syrup that the peaches came in.Read more
