Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 125 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons ice water
• 3 nectarines
• 3 peaches
• 1 tablespoons fresh ginger (grated)
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 teaspoons water (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt to form the base of the pastry.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough is chilling, prepare the fruit filling. Slice the nectarines and peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pits.

Step 6

In a large bowl, toss the sliced fruit with grated ginger, honey, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer it to a tart pan, pressing the dough into the edges and trimming the excess.

Step 9

Arrange the prepared nectarine and peach slices in concentric circles over the tart crust, slightly overlapping them for a decorative effect.

Step 10

Brush the edges of the crust with an egg wash made by whisking 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water.

Step 11

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Optional: Dust the tart with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
