country peach tart

From: Brianna Carroll
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes

1 recipe of Pastry for Single-Crust Pie
1/4 cup sugar
4 tsp. flour
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
3 cups sliced, peeled peaches or nectarines
1 T. lemon juice
1 beaten egg
powdered sugar

1. Prepare pastry for single-crust pie; set aside.
Line a baking sheet with foil; sprinkle lightly with flour.
Roll pastry to 13-inch circle atop baking sheet.

2. Mix sugar, flour, and nutmeg; stir in peaches and lemon juice.
Mound peach mixture in center of crust, leaving a 2-inch border.
Fold border up over peaches, pleating the pastry as necessary.
Note: the pastry does not cover all the peaches across the top,
there is an open area in the center.

3. Combine egg and 1 T. water; brush onto the top and sides of the crust.

4. Bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes, until crust is golden.
To prevent overbrowning, cover edges with foil the last 10-15 minutes.
Cool 30 minutes on baking sheet.
Dust edges with powdered sugar.
Serve with whipped cream if desired.
