Nectarine tarts are not only delicious but also simple to make. With a few ingredients and some basic steps, you can create a dessert that will impress your family and friends.

1 pre-made tart crust

• 4-5 ripe nectarines
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 egg (for egg wash)

Preparing the Nectarines

Start by washing the nectarines thoroughly. Cut them into thin slices, discarding the pits. Place the slices in a bowl and add the sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure all the slices are coated.

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the cornstarch to thicken the juices.

Beat the egg and brush it over the edges of the tart crust. This will give the crust a beautiful golden color when baked.

Baking the Tart

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the nectarines are tender. Keep an eye on the tart to ensure it does not overcook.
