Description
A delightful dessert that blends the sweetness of fresh nectarines with the tartness of plums, all encased in a buttery, flaky crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fresh nectarines, sliced
- 4 fresh plums, sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (for crust)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ice water
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: While the pie crust chills, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced nectarines and plums with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a tablespoon of flour. Toss gently to coat the fruits evenly.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your pie dish. Place the bottom crust in the dish and pour the fruit filling inside, mounding it slightly in the center.
- Top It Off: Roll out the remaining dough for the top crust, seal the edges, and crimp as desired.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling bubbles.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool before slicing and serve with optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, feel free to use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. Ensure fruits are ripe for best results.
