Ingredients:

For the Tart Crust 🥧

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3–4 tbsp cold water

For the Fruit Filling 🍑🫐

• 2 ripe peaches, sliced
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

For the Vanilla Glaze ✨

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add cold water gradually, mixing just until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap, and chill for 20 minutes.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and gently place it into a tart pan or onto a parchment-lined baking sheet for a rustic style.
5. In another bowl, toss peaches and blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
6. Spoon the fruit mixture into the prepared crust, spreading evenly.
7. Fold edges of the dough slightly over the fruit if making a rustic tart.
8. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
9. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
10. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, then drizzle glaze over the warm tart before serving.

Notes:

• Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.
• Frozen blueberries can be used—do not thaw before baking.
• This tart pairs beautifully with vanilla yogurt or a light scoop of ice cream.
