Ingredients:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 tbsp ice-cold water
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 600g ripe but firm peaches, sliced
- 1 tbsp turbinado sugar
- 2 tbsp apricot preserves
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Pulse 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and ¼ tsp salt in a food processor.
- Add ½ cup cold cubed unsalted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized lumps remaining.
- Add 4 tbsp ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just begins to clump together.
- Press the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough, fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, and prick the bottom with a fork. Line with parchment and pie weights; bake at 190°C (375°F) for 12 minutes, remove weights, and bake for another 5 minutes until pale gold.
- In a mixing bowl, beat ¼ cup softened unsalted butter and ⅓ cup honey until smooth and aerated.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy.
- Stir in 1 cup almond flour and ¼ tsp salt until just combined.
- Use an offset spatula to spread the frangipane filling into the par-baked shell in an even, smooth layer.
- Arrange 600g sliced peaches in concentric circles, slightly overlapping each other.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp turbinado sugar over the peaches.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35–40 minutes until the frangipane has puffed up around the peaches, edges are deep golden brown, and the internal temperature of the filling reaches 71°C (160°F).
- Heat 2 tbsp apricot preserves and mix with 1 tsp lemon juice; brush the mixture over the warm peaches for a glaze.
