Description
A beautiful, rustic dessert that celebrates juicy stone fruit and features a flaky, buttery crust.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 3–4 ripe nectarines, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the ice water gradually until the dough comes together.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to form a large circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Combine the sliced nectarines, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in another bowl.
- Place the nectarine mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the nectarines.
- Brush the dough with beaten egg and sprinkle sugar over it.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30–35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the nectarines are tender.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Keep the butter cold for a flakier crust. Don’t overwork the dough, and adjust sugar according to the sweetness of the nectarines.
