Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and place the prepared deep pie shell on a baking sheet.
-
Line the pie shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans; blind bake for 15 minutes.
-
Remove the parchment and weights, then bake the crust for another 5 minutes until lightly golden; set aside to cool.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of cinnamon over medium heat.
-
Simmer the peach mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender and the juices have thickened into a caramel-like glaze.
-
Prepare the vegan custard by whisking together plant-based milk, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a separate pot until smooth.
-
Cook the custard over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
-
Pour the thickened custard into the cooled pie crust and spread it evenly.
-
Arrange the caramelized peach slices on top of the custard in a decorative circular pattern.
-
Spoon the remaining peach syrup over the fruit for a glossy finish.
-
Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour to allow the custard to set firmly before slicing and serving.
