The second time I made it. I pushed the crust down a little smaller this time. The peaches were sliced according to the recipe. I used 4. I baked it in a breville smart oven 30 minutes. Turned put beautifully. So easy and so good. Wish i could post a picture it turned out so pretty who wants to cut it 😂

I loved making this recipe, the crust was easy, although I prefer a more thicker crust, so think a smaller 9inch tart pan maybe better for this recipe. Also would reduce the amount of sugar coating, it was great but I really think it depends on how sweet your peaches are. But overall enjoyed this recipe and served it with churned vanilla ice cream instead of whip cream. Family loved it.

Made this tart for a family celebration and everyone raved. The fact that it was so easy is a bonus!

This has become my "go-to peach recipe" during our fabulous peach season here in South Carolina. I can't remember making this when it hasn't been perfect. One addition I have made is more almond extract to the crust to complement the peaches. It's the perfect summer dessert.

I made this exactly as written and it was so easy and came out delicious. The crust is a little bit crumbly but the flavor is perfect. Great way to use extra peaches. I will definitely make this again.

Finally got around to trying this crust, which I would say is at any rate serviceable. It held together pretty well, though inclined to crumble pretty easily. I made 1/2 recipe in a 7 1/2" tart pan, which should scale very well compared to an 11"; I would have been happier with a bit more material, but that's usually my experience with press-in crusts. The flavor is acceptable- didn't really like the olive oil flavor, but it's not strong. I used apples for the filling- I had a couple of pie apples that needed to be used. I did it straight by the recipe except for the addition of a bit of cinnamon to the sugar topping; it worked, actually, a little better than I expected, may try it again with a more standard short crust. As to the crust, might be a good alternative if you have trouble with standard crusts, and somewhat healthier than most, but not something I'll likely do again.

This is one of my go to recipes for a potluck. Omg people start fighting over the left over crumbs too.
I usually double the recipe for the base to make it bigger and add more peaches but keep the topping amount the same. Also have used tinned peaches

I am no longer avoiding making pies or tarts thanks to this crust! It also works well without parbaking for pumpkin pie.
I found the fruit shines through better when the sugar/topping is halved as the original recipe is a little sweet for me. Other modifications that I tried:
- use starch instead of flour for a less cloudy gel
- add some almond flour to the topping mix to complement the almond extract in the crust
- swap 1/3 whole wheat flour in the crust for a graham cracker type taste (may work better with other fillings)
- for pumpkin pie, use cinnamon instead of almond extract
- add more flour to crust mixture if using a larger pie plate (the crust will be less crumbly)
Fabulous recipe!!

So many great ideas here! I'm looking forward to implementing them (especially, making a pumpkin tart)..
Thank you, GJon. ;o)

I made this last night for about the 30th time. Nectarines and plums, 2% milk, and peanut oil because that’s what I had. An easy peasy delicious and flexible tart recipe. I do think the oven temp is a little high

This peach tart is a lifesaver for any cook, especially when you're away from your kitchen gadgets. With just a knife, a bowl (or even the pan), you can create this delightful dessert. The dough, a mixture of oil, milk, and almond extract, is pressed into the pan, and there's no need for blind baking. Simply layer the peaches on the dough, sprinkle with a sweet and salty crumble, and let the oven work its magic.
While my mom uses all vegetable oil in her crust, I opt for a combination of vegetable and olive oil. She meticulously peels her peaches, but I take the lazier route. The result may not be identical, but I can guarantee that anyone you serve this to will be more than satisfied.

This is hard to imagine. I have been making this for years and everyone I have served it to, has oohed and awed about it. The only problem I have had was the last time I made it when I loaded it up with five peaches and ended up with way too much "juice". I was able to pour it off easily enough; but learned that I will use fewer peaches. And we all love the crust.

I really wanted to love it after all the fabulous reviews, but I couldn’t. It was easy to make. But the crust just didn’t do it for me (or my guests). It had no flavor. I followed the recipe as directed. The peach preparation was great, I cut down the sugar because my peaches were so sweet on their own. It was worth a try.

Your almond flavoring must be fresh and not old. Try increasing the amount you use.

So easy! My dad owns bees so once it was done, I drizzled a little bit of fresh honey on top! Absolutely delicious!

I absolutely love this recipe. It makes a wonderful desert, and ok, breakfast. I'm just wondering what fruit to bub in when peaches are out of season, I would love to enjoy it year round.

I have found it to be spectacular even with out of season fresh peaches. Haven't tried it with frozen peaches; but the reviews are good for those. It's my favorite dessert year round.

My guests swarmed it and I was lucky to get a sliver taste! People were very impressed with how it looked. When using an 11inch tart pan, I needed 5 peaches - luckily I had bought extra (and 3 were pretty decent sized). Also, instead of using my fingers to spread out dough, I used the bottom of a metal measuring cup - this worked VERY well. I also placed the tart on the floor so I could use my arms to push down. Will make this recipe for another party I am having next week. I accidently cooked it at 350 and noticed that after 35 min when it wasn't ready. I kept it at 350 for another 5 min but then raised the temp to 425 but the peaches started to brown so I figured it was done. Think i'll do it at 400 next time. Convention oven so that'll work.

Wonderful dessert. Fresh peaches with almond flavored crust is excellent. I sliced peaches on thicker side and stacked close together which made it even better. Guests enjoyed and I was happy to share the recipe. Thank you for making such a special summer evening dessert recipe.
