This was a great pick for a hot summer day; fresh fruit, cold pastry cream, and a sugary crust. The original recipe called for raspberries, not peaches, but Walmart just happened to have every fruit available
except raspberries, so I went with what was in season, juicy peaches! The recipe also calls for current or apply jelly to drizzle over the top, but since I was lacking in the jelly department, I went with what was in the fridge--caramel topping. It added a pretty glazed look and, well--caramel and fruit--you really can't go wrong. The tart crust was hard to serve without braking apart, but perhaps that is the nature of tart crust? I ate it right away, but I wonder if I should have waited a few hours to let the cream soften the crust some. But then the fruit might not have been as good. Hmm. Anyway, this was first attempt at a tart, and I don't think it will be my last. This week,
Michelle (from Bake 52) and I had fun baking together, so don't be surprised that our tarts look identical:) Amanda was our host this week and you can get the recipe
HERE, and see her fabulous version of the tart!
