Author Notes
I off-roaded Amanda Hesser's peach tart by making some changes that were inspired by yet another recipe using peaches that I love. I added some of the spices that Emily and Melissa Elsen used in the Paprika Peach Pie in The Four and Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book. The amounts are quite small, since I adapted to the smaller recipe, they are literally just a pinch of each one, and the change in taste is subtle, but delicious. I also included some vanilla extract, since I am a huge fan of vanilla and reduced some of the sugar, because I like my desserts a little less sweet. Lastly, I used a 9-inch tart pan simply because I don't have an 11-inch one and used all the filling to make it a little thicker, just the way I like it. —Michi

Arrange the peaches in concentric circles over the pastry. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cool on a rack before serving at room temperature or warmed up.
