Peach Upside-Down Cake

Our Best Sweet-and-Juicy Peach Recipes (1)

The family behind Illinois' Rendleman Orchards has amassed some great peach recipes in more than a century of growing peaches. This cake is no exception. Peach slices and brown sugar form a moist base for the tender, square cake—and when flipped over, that base becomes the topping. We like the cake warm with ice cream.

Peaches and Cream Tart

Our Best Sweet-and-Juicy Peach Recipes (7)

Rather than hide gorgeous, peak-season peaches under a piecrust, line them up in sunny formation on an easy base of purchased puff pastry and sweetened cream cheese. We arranged our peaches in stripes, but you can spread them out rustically if you prefer.
