Peach Tart

INGREDIENTS

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
3 large peaches
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 large egg
4 Tablespoons Apricot preserves
3 tablespoons hot water
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.

In a small bowl, toss together the peaches with the lemon juice.

Unfold the puff pastry onto the baking sheet. Lightly score the dough by cutting a border 1 inch from the edges (do not cut through the pastry). Prick the pastry all over with a fork. Arrange the peach slices so that they are slightly overlapping each other in three rows inside the border.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with 2 teaspoons water. Brush the eggwash around the edges of the tart. Mix together the water and apricot preserves and set aside. Bake the tart for 15 to 17 minutes until it is golden and puffed. Remove the tart and turn the oven to broil.
Brush apricot preserves and water mixture on top of the peaches and crust. Place under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until the preserves start to bubble and begins to caramelize. Remove the tart and let it cool slightly then dust it with confectioners' sugar and serve.
Oh yeah...serve with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
Enjoy!!!
