I know it’s not really time for peaches to be ready but I just couldn’t resist myself when I saw a few of the first fruits of season at the farmers market. Â I am so thankful that I live in a part of the country that produces this sweet, juicy fruit. Â North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia all have their own unique varieties and it’s always so much fun to taste, cook and explore what makes each one special. Â I picked up a small basket of peaches on Saturday and let them get just ripe enough to bake with. Â So, today was the day and Peach Tart is what’s for dessert!

[…] eastern part of NC. I was not sure what I was going to make with them besides the family favorite, peach tart. I wanted a little inspiration, so, I grabbed a few of my favorite cookbooks and settled in with a […]
Gotta make this! Does this need to be stored in the fridge? How many sheets of puffed pastry come in a box? Thank you!
Hey Lisa,
Buy a box of puffed pastry in the frozen section. I comes with 2 sheets. Thaw and use one for the peach tart. I hope this helps. Keep me posted!
Have a great day,

I have never used puffed pastry, but it says it has several layers (64 on the product I looked at). Do I just use one layer for this recipe or how many?
Hey Marilyn,
Make sure you’re using Pulled Pastry and not Phyllo Dough. You will only need one sheet of Puffed Pastry. I buy it in the frozen section of the grocery store and I use Pepperidge Farms brand. I hope this helps!
Have a great day,

Thank you for all the awesome recipes. Have made a few of them going for more. Keep them coming.
Could frozen peaches be used?
Hey Stephanie. You can use frozen…no problem! Just make sure you thaw the peaches and then drain off the juice so that your crust does not get soggy. Let me know how it turns out!

I think this is a great recipe. I did use a package of frozen peaches. Didn’t have 3 cups so added frozen blueberries to make the three cups. Yes, they do need to be drained. I think the next time I would cook down the frozen peaches some before topping the pastry with them. The amount of sugar and other ingredients, timing, everything else is right on. I did use almond flavoring rather than vanilla and some nutmeg. Very good.
