I had a bunch of nectarines in my fridge that I forgot about and thought I would try to make a tart of since I had some pie dough in the fridge as well. I like nectarines a lot they are a hybrid of a peach and plum. They aren't sweet and tart at the same time and the fruit holds up well to baking. I didnt have enough fruit to make a whole pie or enough to fill my tart pan so I figured I would go rustic and just fold up the edges around the fruit and then sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and dotted with a little butter so the crust would brown. It didnt take long to bake and then once done served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!
