Celebrate Summer with a Peach Tart!

I have now found my "go to" peach pie dish!!! So impressed with appearance and I really can't tell you what I loved more - the peaches or the taste of the almond pie crust (with was buttery & moist).  Not nearly as difficult as it appears and amazed as the dough needs no rolling; no fuss at all!  Passed the taste test too!   Yep, definitely gonna make this again!
 Ingredients: 

Pie Crust
8 t unsalted butter
1 c all purpose flour unbleached
3 T ground almonds
1/8 t salt
3/4 t almond extract

Filling:
3 -4 ripe peaches
1/2 cup peach reserves (made previously night)
3 T of sugar
pinch of cinnamon

Directions:  
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Melt butter in microwave
combine flour almonds and salt
add butter and almond extract; combine with fork or hands using plastic gloves
press dough into 9 inch pan (I used a glass pyrex dish)
Place in oven for 15 - 20 mins
Set aside and let cool

Meanwhile, cut peaches in half, remove pit.
Cut each half into 1/4 in slices (6 - 7 slices per half)
Line cooled pie crust with peach reserves
arrange peach slices in a circular pattern
Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture
Bake tart for 20 - 25 mins or until preserves start to bubble.
Cool on a wire rack.
