This tart with peaches, nectarines, apricots, and/or plums is a late-summer showstopper yet surprisingly simple to make. The crust and filling both come together in a food processor.

Crust
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
½ cup (65 g) raw pistachios, divided
1 large egg
¼ cup (packed; 50 g) light brown sugar
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp. kosher salt
¾ tsp. baking powder
Filling and assembly
3 large eggs
⅔ cup (packed; 133 g) light brown sugar
¼ cup sour cream
1 Tbsp. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1 tsp. ground cardamom
¾ tsp. ground ginger
¾ tsp.(packed) finely grated orange zest
¾ tsp. kosher salt
3 Tbsp (23 g) all-purpose flour
2½-3 lb. stone fruit (such as peaches, nectarines, apricots, and plums; all about the same size), cut into sixths or eighths, depending on their size
1 Tbsp. coarse sugar
Powdered sugar, whipped cream, or crème fraîche (for serving; optional)
Special equipment
A 9"-diameter springform pan

Steps:

  • Crust
  • Preheat an oven to 375°F. Cook butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until it foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Set aside.
  • Pulse pistachios in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer 4 Tbsp. to a small bowl; set aside.
  • Scrape reserved browned butter over pistachios in food processor; add egg, brown sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder. Pulse until incorporated, then process, scraping down sides as needed, until mixture looks like wet sand and holds together when squeezed in your hand, about 2 minutes.
  • Press dough evenly into bottom and about 2" up sides of pan with a straight-sided glass or measuring cup. Chill while you make the filling.
  • Filling and assembly
  • Process eggs and brown sugar in clean food processor until eggs are well combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down sides; add sour cream, vanilla bean paste, cardamom, ginger, orange zest, and salt. Sprinkle flour and 2 Tbsp. reserved pistachios over; process until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Starting at the edges of the chilled tart shell and working inward, arrange stone fruit in snug concentric circles, standing each wedge up so one tip is raised and rounded skin side is pressed against crust. Carefully pour custard around fruit (fruit should not be completely covered). Sprinkle coarse sugar over.
  • Bake pie until crust is golden brown and filling is puffed and set in the center (it shouldn't wobble when gently shaken), 70-75 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and scatter remaining reserved 2 Tbsp. pistachios over. Let cool, then chill, uncovered, until fully set.
  • Unmold tart. Dust with powdered sugar and/or top with dollops of whipped cream or crème fraîche if desired. Serve chilled or room temperature.

STONE FRUIT SUMMER CRUMBLE TART

This simple, adaptable summer dessert is perfect when there's lots of juicy fresh fruits at the market. An easy streusel forms both the crust and crumble topping, and it's packed with whatever fruit (or combo of fruits) you like. It's especially wonderful with stone fruit like peaches, plums or cherries, but berries work well too.

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings (one 10- or 11-inch tart)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch fine sea salt
5 heaping cups fruit, such as stone fruit or berries, prepared as needed (seeds or pits removed, peeled if desired, chopped if large, left whole if small)

Steps:

  • For the streusel: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 10- or 11-inch tart pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, stir the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon to combine. Drop the butter into the bowl and work it in with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture comes together to form large clumps. Press about two-thirds of the streusel into the base of the tart pan, taking care to press evenly on both the base and sides.
  • For the fruit filling: In a separate medium bowl, stir the granulated sugar, flour and salt to combine. Add the fruit to the bowl and toss well to coat.
  • Arrange the fruit in an even layer on top of the crust. Crumble the remaining streusel over the surface. Place the tart on a baking sheet. Bake until the fruit is juicy, maybe even bubbly, and the streusel is a deep and even golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
