1
Begin by preparing crust. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a food processor), mix the cold, unsalted butter cubes and 1/4 cup of sugar until combined. Add 1 egg yolk to the sugar and butter and mix. Add flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Briefly mix, then use your hands to work in the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Once the dry ingredients are worked in, you should end up with a crumbly dough.
2
Lightly spray a 9.5 inch tart pan (with a removable bottom) with cooking oil.
3
Press the dough mixture into the pan using your fingers. Start with the sides and continue, filling in the bottom. Once you have pressed the crust into the pan, use a kitchen spoon to smooth the dough.
4
Cover with plastic wrap and place the crust into the freezer for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 F.
5
While crust is in the freezer, prepare peaches. Peel the peaches and cut them in half. Gently twist the halves and the peach should separate. Remove the pit and slice.
6
Place the sliced peaches in a bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and two tablespoons of sugar. Mix gently and place peaches in the refrigerator.
7
Once 10 minutes have passed, remove the crust from freezer. Poke several holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork. Place crust in oven and bake for 10 minutes until light golden brown.
8
While the crust is baking, prepare filling. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a food processor) add cream cheese, sour cream, 1 whole egg, honey and cinnamon. Mix until just blended, then (if using a stand mixer) switch to the whisk attachment and blend until smooth.
9
At this time the crust should be complete. Remove it from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 F.
10
Pour filling into crust and bake for 15 minutes until set. Remove tart from oven and let it cool on countertop for 5 minutes. Place tart in freezer to chill for 15 minutes.
11
Remove tart from freezer and arrange sliced peaches over the top.
12
Remove the ring from the tart pan (and the bottom, if you wish), slice and serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
