CARAMEL-PEACH TART

Category: Tarts

Cream Cheese Pastry:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese

Mix flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter and cream cheese until consistency of fine crumbs. Press together with hands to form ball; if necessary, chill until firm enough to roll. Roll on a well-floured surface into a circle 13 inches in diameter. Place on a large baking sheet; roll edges to form a rim (rim may be fluted if desired).

Peach Filling:
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 tbsp sugar
8 medium peaches, sliced

Mix together flour and sugar. Sprinkle evenly over pastry. Arrange sliced peaches in pastry shell. Bake in preheated oven at 400 for 25 minutes or until pastry is browned and peaches are tender. Remove from oven.

Caramel Glaze: Caramelize 1 cup sugar by melting in a heavy skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until syrup becomes a golden brown. Remove from heat immediately. With a pastry brush, coat surface of peaches to glaze. Serve tart warm or at room temperature.
