Easy Rustic Peach & Blueberry Tart with Store Bought Crust
An easy recipe for a rustic peach and blueberry tart using pre-made, store bought crust
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of pie dough
- 4 medium peaches sliced
- 3/4 cup blueberries
- 1/2 lemon
- 4 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- pinch cardamom
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
- granulated or sparkling sugar optional
Instructions
- Take the store bought pie crust out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter in its wrapper while you complete the other steps.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare the peaches. You will leave the peach skins on for this recipe, so just cut them all around to halve the peach. Twist and separate. Lift out the peach and cut into slices, about 1/4 inch.
- Place the peach slices in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the blueberries to the peach slices.
- Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon over the fruit.
- Sprinkle the flour over the fruit and mix.
- Add the granulated sugar and spices to the fruit and mix until combined.
- Tear a sheet of parchment paper about the size of a rimmed baking sheet - enough for an 11" sheet of pie dough - on a work surface.
- Flour a rolling pin.
- Place the room temperature dough on the parchment paper and roll out to about 11 inches. Make sure you roll out from the center, rotating the parchment paper as you work.
- Transfer the parchment paper and the dough to the rimmed baking sheet.
- Place the peach mixture in the center of the dough leaving about two inches without fruit, all around. You can arrange the fruit if you wish, but pouring it in adds to the rustic feel.
- Begin folding up the dough edges all around, leaving the center of the tart uncovered. Press down on the dough to seal where it overlaps.
- Lightly beat the egg and water together.
- Brush the egg wash over the top of the dough.
- You can either leave the crust like this or sprinkle it lightly with granulated or sparkling sugar.
- Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes.
- Carefully remove the tart - with the parchment paper - to a wire rack to cool.
