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.
