When nectarine season hits, this is the pie to make. Six large nectarines get sliced and tossed with cinnamon, lemon zest, and just enough sugar to coax out their juices without overwhelming their natural tang.

The beauty of nectarines over peaches? No peeling required. That fuzzy skin nightmare is someone else’s problem.

Pile the fruit into a deep pie plate between two layers of pastry, dot with butter, sprinkle sugar on top, and bake until the kitchen smells like summer.

Pro Tips

  • Choose nectarines that are ripe but still firm; too-soft fruit will turn to mush during baking
  • The flour in the filling absorbs the juices and prevents a soupy bottom; don’t skip it
  • Let the pie cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing so the filling has time to set
