I love peaches and nectarines and you can use either for my Peach Tart. it is so easy to make, yet feels like it came from a bakery. I use my full-proof pie crust and I have added the blog link for you. Peaches and nectarines are sweet and easy to work with. Peaches have a fuzzy coating while nectarines are smooth. Sometimes the fuzz on the peach skin can get tough especially in cooking and that is why I use nectarines sometimes.
My nonno loved both and I remember him cutting them into little slices for us at the table after meals in the summer time. It was an Italian tradition to finish the meal with fruit. I waited patiently as his little carving knife did its magic. He loved eating and growing fruit. He succeeded at growing an orange and a chestnut tree, but not a peach one. My favourite peaches come from Sicily and they are called Flat peaches or (Pesca tabacchiera). Usually one of the first things I eat when I get to Sicily. Can’t wait for the world to get to some sort of normal so that I can return. 🙂 Until then, I am grateful to live in the Southern most tip of Canada where I can enjoy the bounty of the land.

Process
Melt the butter and sugar in an ovenproof skillet. Cut the peaches in quarters.
Add in the peaches and cook for about 5 minutes. I turn the half way through and arrange them nicely.
Make your pie dough and roll it out. I ensured that I had about 1/2 inch extra to completely tuck in and cover the peaches.
Place the dough over the peaches an prick with a fork.
Place in a 375F oven for 25 minutes. It should come out golden and crisp.
I used a plate to invert it.
Let it cool and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
