Tuesdays with Dorie with K: Cherry (Peach) Crumb Tart


K: "Why are we supposed to make something with out of season fruit?"
Me: "There are some places where cherries are in season."
K: "Not here."
Me: "We'll use peaches instead."
K: "Okay."
K was right. We had a very early and short cherry season. So despite the cherry-pitter languishing in my kitchen drawer, there would be no cherries for us. But s farmers market special of flats of peaches for $15? That we would not miss. So Cherry Crumb Tart became Peach Crumb Tart for us and I am very glad that it did, because this may be my favorite Tuesdays with Dorie recipe so far. Peaches are my favorite fruit and combining them with a buttery crust and a crumb topping? What was not to love?

 The recipe: I think K may have now memorized this tart crust, and that is not a complaint. We've used it for many Tuesdays with Dorie recipes, but also for other projects as well ,and it is a winner. Easy and very K (read child) friendly.

Pre-crumb and baking
The verdict: I said it above, but I love this one. I'd like to try it again with cherries, but am also imaging how good it could be with plums or pears or even apples. One to add to the regular rotation.

    Oooh, this would have been lovely with peaches. Sadly, there are no peaches here because it is winter, so I used imported cherries.

    I think this will work with any stone fruit actually. A new fave!

    Peach Tart I am sure would be amazing! Good call! We don't have any more cherries here, so I resorted to plums. So delicious!

    I just got some white peaches. The idea of making a peach tart is speaking to me now after reading this. I like the way the peaches were not all covered under the streusel in your tart.

    I was barely able to find cherries to make this since the season is so brief. So glad it worked out with the peaches.

    I felt really lucky to find cherries on sale, or I would have to go with something from the freezer! I'm also a huge fan of this tart dough. I feel like its a truly no fail crust!
