It may be tough to feel the warm fuzzies for my extra warm home state in the hot summer months, but I do love it here in Texas! What’s not so hot? Frizzy hair in humidity and blood hungry mosquitoes are my only two complaints. But, eh. Everything else is just plain peachy!

It’s been over a year since we’ve lived here, and I can barely believe it! To celebrate (a bit belated, but A for effort, right?), I made this delicious, decadent tart with fresh peaches and studded it with Texas pecans for a perfect dessert to toast our busy, blissfully happy first year. Elegant, effortless and easy as pie. Actually, it’s much easier!

Just roll out a sheet of frozen puff pastry a bit, cut it into thirds and a toss some juicy sliced peaches on top (fresh is best). Bake up those little beauties for 20 minutes and serve ‘em hot with vanilla whipped cream or ice cream to make this a truly swoon-worthy Southern treat!

Texas Peach and Pecan Tart

Yield: Makes 3 tarts (6-9 servings)

Ingredients:

1 sheet puff pastry

2 large fresh peaches

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/8 tsp. table salt

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Halve peaches, remove pit and slice into 1/4 inch thick slices. Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to a medium bowl and toss peach slices in mixture.

Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll the pastry slightly to stretch. Cut pastry into thirds and lay each on baking sheet. Arrange peach slices on top of each third, overlapping.

Bake 20 minutes, or until pastry is golden. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Enjoy!

    I always find peaches so dull but I think that’s because I’ve never had proper Texas peaches. This is a great way to celebrate them!

    I love the puff pastry shortcut here, Georgia! You never cease to amaze me. Fresh juicy peaches + pecans are such a wonderful combiation. The soft peaches and crunchy pecans offer a nice contrast on the crust! Must use your puff pastry idea sometime!

    Georgia, this is simply divine! I am enjoying the wonderful Texas peach as well, they are definitely juicy this year(probably due to all the rain!)

    It makes me so happy to read you love Texas as well, I’ve lived here ever since we moved from Asia to the US (1988), couldn’t be more proud to call Texas home!

    I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyhow, if you have any recommendations or tips for new blog owners
    please share. I understand this is off topic nevertheless I simply had to ask.

    First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if
    you do not mind. I was curious to find out how
    you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.

    I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
    usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
    Thank you!

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly
    appreciated. Thanks

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.

    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I
    thought I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though!
    Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Kudos
