Ingredients

For the homemade shortcrust pastry

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 125 g cold butter, diced
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 60 ml cold water

For the filling

  • 4 ripe peaches
  • 3 tablespoons acacia honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Juice of half a lemon
Preparing the shortcrust pastry
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Add the diced butter. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the cold water while mixing until the dough starts to come together. Avoid overworking the dough.
  •  Form the dough into a ball, flatten it slightly, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preparing the filling
  •  Peel, pit, and thinly slice the peaches. Place them in a bowl and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • In another bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the peaches and sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the peaches begin to soften. Add the acacia honey and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is slightly caramelized.
Assembling and baking the tart
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Line a tart pan with the dough.
  • Evenly spread the peach filling over the crust.
  • Bake the tart for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
  • Allow the tart to cool slightly before removing it from the pan.
