Fresh Peach Tart

Fresh Peach Tart

If you're like me and LOVE fresh peaches, you are going to love this recipe for fresh peach tart! It's made with a light and flaky shortbread crust, the same filling we used in last weeks fruit dip and then covered with slices of fresh peaches all topped off with a healthy drizzle of our bourbon caramel sauce! It only requires 10 minutes of baking and can easily be made ahead so you can make the crust in the morning before the heat of the day sets in! Once assembled, the hardest part will be not giving into the temptation to steal a slice every time you open the fridge! Serve this with a glass of riesling and you've got the perfect dessert for your next dinner party! Enjoy!
