  This was easy and delicious. When I saw the quantity of pastry I had I was afraid I would have to roll it out really thin and that it would be difficult to transfer to the tin ( I usually am not that good with pastry), and break in a few pieces and make a mess. It rolled out well and i and followed baking directions exactly. The pastry was beautiful. I will use it again for other fruit pies. The filling was delicious, nice almond taste. The pie was a big success with my friends. We live in South West France, peaches are in season now, and they come from down the road! They are picked when they are ready to eat, they are so juicy. I'm sure that they contributed to the success of this lovely tart.

  Like Suzanne I am "not good" with pastry - in fact hopeless, but I followed the recipe religiously, and it came out well, and is delicious too. I agree though that you must have good peaches. Added the insides of a vanilla pod to the custard mix & the glaze too, so it also looked quite professional, and up to the standards of my local patisserie. Was a lovely summer pud to follow's Barney's Pancetta-wrapped trout, eaten outdoors on a memorable and balmy evening.

  Loved this recipe. I was worried about the pastry as well and did actually end up 'molding' it into my flan tin which came out fine. Next time I think I will add some almond extract as well as the almonds - I really like quite a strong almondy flavour. I had made the tart for my Mum's birthday and she really enjoyed it. I will make this again. Yum.

  This is such a great tart. Extremely tasty. Bookmarked this recipe to make for friends that we coming over. Got a phone call the night before saying that they couldn't eat gulten! Gulp. I went and bought some gulten free flour. Worked really well! It actually looks very professional, but is easy to make.

  The pastry shrank down the sides a bit when blind-baked, probably just my technique, but it didnt show once the filling was in. Looked very nice, tasted great too! Would def make again.

  Easy to bake and results are great. Made it when we invited people over to our house and everybody thought we bought the tart!

  Wow! Lovely tart. The almond filling is really good and tasty. So good that it doesn't really need the peach (or any fruit for the matter). Highly recommend others to try it and I will definitely make it again & again. Thanks Gregg for the recipe.

  I only used this recipe for the tart base to make smaller tarts for something else. Unfortunately, the tart bases tasted and looked rather like oatmeal cakes... Perhaps I did not put enough water in because when i tried to roll it out, it just crumbled to bits...

  Thank you for this lovely recipe. I followed it almost by the book ! Just bought the pastry already made... But the almond filling really does the trick! Will retry it with other fruits. Highly recommended. Easy as well!

  I think I may have overcooked this. I wasn't sure whether the almond filling was supposed to set like a sponge or be soft like a custard. The edges seemed to bake OK but the middle seemed uncooked so left it in for 10 minutes longer than maybe it needed. It looked fabulous and still tasted really good. Heated the apricot jam first, which aids glazing. Would cook for less time next time I cook it, which my partner hopes will be very soon!

  For those who mentioned not being "good with pastry" I would suggest leaving the pastry in the fridge for several hours - or indeed as I do, overnight then take it out and leave to come up to a workable temperature; that never fails for me - honest!

  This is a realyl lovely tart, and very impressive to look at despite how easy it is to make! I added a dash of lemon juice to the filling to contrast against the sweetness. Delicious, would definitely make again and try different fruits.
