(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat and Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pre-made pie crust and place it into your pie dish. Use a fork to poke holes in the crust to prevent bubbles from forming during baking.

2. Arrange the Nectarines

Arrange the sliced nectarines evenly on top of the crust, fanning them out to create a visually appealing design.

3. Make the Honey Glaze

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Stir the mixture continuously until it thickens, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

4. Drizzle the Glaze

Once the glaze has thickened, drizzle it over the nectarines, ensuring they are all coated with the glossy, sweet glaze.

5. Bake the Tart

Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the nectarines have softened.

6. Cool and Serve

Let the tart cool to room temperature before serving. You can also refrigerate it if you prefer to serve it chilled.

Variations

Fruit Substitutions: While nectarines are the star of this tart, feel free to swap them with other stone fruits like peaches, plums, or apricots for a different twist.

Lemon Zest: Add a touch of lemon zest to the glaze for a more citrus-forward flavor.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store any leftover tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Reheating: You can enjoy this tart chilled or at room temperature. If you prefer it warm, reheat it gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes.
