TWD: Crunchy and Custardy Peach Tart
Wow! This tart was so good! Honestly, it caught me off guard because I don't like custard and I really don't love peaches that much. The tart crust was supposed to be an almond crust but I had a freezer full of pecans and I decided to do a Southern take on Dorie's French tart. Cream, an egg, sugar, and a little almond extract are poured over fresh peaches and topped with a pecan crumble.
Again, this tart just wasn't what I was expecting! It was so delicious and had such a sophisticated flavor and texture. The tart was wonderful warm, room temperature, an especially chilled! We ate the whole thing in a little over two days- Derrick was eating it straight off the tart pan!
Thanks Rachel of Sweet Tarte for choosing this surprisingly amazing tart for this week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe!

Glad you liked it! Thanks for baking with me this week!
I like your idea of using pecans. I generally prefer them to almonds, and peach & pecan sounds like a great flavor combination.
Hooray for the southern twist on this tart! I'm so glad that you and your family enjoyed this tart. Eating it straight from the pan is always a sign of success in my opinion!
Ciao ! I love your tart !!!
I used pecans, too. Guess it is a Southern thang....
Looks perfect.
I laughed when you said your husband ate it straight out of the tart pan. That happens in my house, too!
