Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1–2 tablespoons cold water
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
- 3–4 ripe nectarines, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon apricot jam or honey (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flour and powdered sugar. Add cubed butter and mix until crumbly. Add cold water gradually to form dough. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out dough and press into tart pan. Freeze for 10 minutes, then bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.
- In a saucepan, heat honey, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Let cool slightly. Whisk in egg and cream.
- Pour filling into pre-baked crust. Arrange sliced nectarines over the top in overlapping circles.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until set and fruit is tender. Warm the jam or honey and brush over nectarines for a glossy finish.
- Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm nectarines for easier slicing and better structure.
- Chilling the dough ensures a crisper crust that holds its shape.
- A sprinkle of lemon zest adds brightness to the glaze.
