nectarine plum tart



Really this dessert can be made with any stone fruit.  These are just two of my favorites, and I always end up with a ton of them.  This is a great way to use them.I don't add any extra sugar to my fruit, but if you want to lessen the tangy sweet tartness, go ahead and mix some sugar into your fruit.  The thing I like best about this recipe is that it really is a fairly healthy dessert.  Yeah, it does have a bit of butter and brown sugar, but it wouldn't really be a dessert without at least a little guilty ingredients, right?  :)


I call this a tart, but really, I don't know what to call it because it is a cross between a tart and a cobbler.


If you want to fruit to be featured more, but can half the batter recipe and not put any over the fruit.


This was inspired by Ina Garten's recipe here.
