Peach and Nectarine Shortbread Pie

Treat your family to a delicate pie with aromatic nectarine!. The pie is prepared very easily and quite quickly. The most important thing is not to fiddle with the shortbread dough for too long, so that the butter does not start to melt from the warmth of your hands. In addition to nectarines, pears, apples or firm peaches are perfect for the filling. The big advantage of this pie is that if you suddenly come across hard and not very sweet fruits, they are simply ideal for the pie! Help yourself!

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Letʼs prepare the dough.

Step 2

Step 2
Sift the flour with a pinch of salt into the bowl of a food processor, add powdered sugar and chopped cold butter. Using quick movements, grind the mixture into crumbs.

Step 3

Step 3
Add the yolk to the butter crumbs and mix.

Step 4

Step 4
If the mixture turns out dry, add cold water. Add water little by little, literally 1 teaspoon at a time. As a result, we should end up with wet butter crumbs that can be collected into a single lump.

Step 5

Step 5
We collect the dough, but do not knead it. Place the finished dough in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. To cool the dough faster, knead it with your hand into a flat cake 1-2 cm thick and place it in the refrigerator.

Step 6

Step 6
While the dough is chilling, letʼs make the filling. Grind the nuts into fine crumbs (I already had chopped nuts in stock).

Step 7

Step 7
Remove the pit from the nectarine and cut it into thin slices. If the nectarine is not sweet enough, you can mix the slices with a small amount of sugar (I didn’t do this, the sweetness of the fruit itself was enough for me).

Step 8

Step 8
Place the dough on a sheet of baking paper.

Step 9

Step 9
Roll out the dough into a layer about 3 mm thick. Try to roll the edges a little thinner than the middle. Sprinkle the dough with ground nuts, not reaching the edge 3-4 cm.

Step 10

Step 10
Place nectarine slices on top of the nuts.

Step 11

Step 11
Fold the free edges of the dough over the top to form a pie. Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180 C for 25 minutes. The galette should be well browned.

Step 12

Step 12
Let the pie cool slightly, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve. Bon appetit!
