Peaches, piecrust and a pinch of sugar is all you need to make this beautiful rustic peach tart. Peaches are one of my favorite fruits. Likely because it seems like peaches are only in season for a couple of weeks. This rustic peach tart is an absolutely scrumptious way to utilize this juicy and bright fruit.

Instructions

Start by preheating the oven to 425° F.

To prepare the filling, pit the peaches and cut them into ½ inch slices.

In a bowl toss them with 1 tablespoon of sugar and ⅛ teaspoon of salt.

Set aside and let the mixture hang out while you roll out the pie crust.

Using a rolling pin, roll the pie crust into a 12-14 inch diameter roundish shape.

Slide the pie crust on to your cookie sheet at this point.

Place the peach slices in a single layer with minimal overlap, leaving a 2 inch border along the edge.

Next, take the border and fold it over the peaches, crimping the crust as needed.

Brush the crust lightly with a little water and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.

Place the tart in over for 35-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Peach Selection Perfection 🍑
Choose ripe but firm peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure - too soft will turn mushy, while underripe peaches lack sweetness and flavor.
Crust Chilling Technique ❄️
Always refrigerate your pie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling out to prevent shrinkage and ensure a flaky, tender crust.
Sugar Maceration Magic ✨
Toss sliced peaches with sugar 15-20 minutes before assembling to draw out natural juices and concentrate their sweetness.
Rustic Folding Finesse 🥧
When forming the rustic tart, leave a 2-inch border around the peaches and fold edges loosely, creating deliberate, uneven pleats for an authentic rustic look.
Glaze and Shine 🌟
Brush the exposed crust with an egg wash (beaten egg + 1 tablespoon water) before baking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown, glossy finish.
