Ingredients
4 ripe nectarines, sliced
1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
½ cup pure honey
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ cup water
Instructions
- 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.
- Arrange the Nectarines: Arrange the sliced nectarines evenly on top of the crust, fanning them out to create a visually appealing design.
- 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.
- Drizzle the Glaze: Once the glaze has thickened, drizzle it over the nectarines, ensuring they are all coated with the glossy, sweet glaze.
- 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.
- Cool and Serve: Let the tart cool to room temperature before serving. You can also refrigerate it if you prefer to serve it chilled.
Notes
Fruit Substitutions: Swap nectarines with peaches, plums, or apricots for a different twist.
Add a Streusel Topping: Top the tart with a streusel made from butter, flour, sugar, and oats for extra texture.
Lemon Zest: Add a touch of lemon zest to the glaze for a citrus-forward flavor.
