Ingredients

• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 4 medium nectarines, sliced
• 100 grams blueberries
• 3 tablespoons apricot jam
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the chilled butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan, pressing it into the sides and bottom. Trim any excess dough.

Step 5

Mix the sliced nectarines and blueberries in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract, then pour this mixture over the fruits. Toss to coat.

Step 6

Arrange the nectarine slices in concentric circles on the tart crust, slightly overlapping them, and sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the top.

Step 7

Brush the edges of the tart crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is tender.

Step 9

While the tart bakes, heat the apricot jam in a small saucepan over low heat until it becomes liquidy. Once melted, strain the jam to remove any chunks for a smoother glaze.

Step 10

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Gently brush the warm fruit with the apricot glaze to give it a glossy finish.

Step 11

Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling sets. Serve and enjoy!
