It is still technically Summer!

It is still technically summer!  Yes, summer does not end until September 22-23 when the beginning of autumn begins.  So I have a few recipes that I have to sneak in before we officially begin fall. There is so much abundance of fruits and vegetables that are available at this time of year.  I could post and post, but I am going to stay on course with some that have turned into real treasures.  
The first recipe is from Alice Waters written in a Food and Wine article that is linked below.  It is the Creamy Peach Tart with Smoky Almond Crust.  It is a winner.  With the fresh peaches(or nectarines) and the creamy cheesecake filling, the tart all comes together with the crust.  It is made with real Nilla Wafers and Smoky Almonds and to pull it all together - good old-fashioned butter.

An almost-instant crust, made with vanilla wafer cookies and smoked almonds, is the secret to this simple and unusual tart.
This is really a quick and easy recipe that takes about 30 minutes.
