1. STEP 1

   

   How to make shortbread pie with nectarines in the oven? Measure out the required ingredients. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft.

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix flour with baking powder, sift into a wide bowl with high sides.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sugar to flour, mix.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add softened butter to dry ingredients.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grind everything until you get butter crumbs.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a small bowl, beat the egg and salt with a fork until smooth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add the beaten egg to the resulting crumbs. Stir with a spoon first.

8. STEP 8

   

   Then quickly knead the dough with your hands. There is no need to knead the dough for a long time. Gather it into a ball, wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

9. STEP 9

   

   Take nectarines for the filling that are ripe, but not overripe, so that when slicing they retain their shape. Vanillin can be replaced with vanilla sugar. Instead of corn starch, you can use potato starch.

10. STEP 10

    

    Wash the nectarines and dry them. Cut each fruit in half and remove the pit. Cut the nectarines into medium-thick slices.

11. STEP 11

    

    For the filling, combine mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla, cornstarch and part of the beaten egg. Leave less than half the egg for brushing the top of the pie.

12. STEP 12

    

    Mix the ingredients for the filling thoroughly until you obtain a homogeneous fluid mass.

13. STEP 13

    

    Roll out the chilled dough into a layer about 0.5 cm thick. You can roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment. The size of the layer should be larger than the diameter of the mold.

14. STEP 14

    

    Transfer the dough to a baking pan and spread it over the bottom and sides. My mold diameter is 20 cm.

15. STEP 15

    

    Pour the mascarpone filling onto the dough.

16. STEP 16

    

    Place nectarine slices on top of the filling.

17. STEP 17

    

    Drop the dough from the sides of the pan onto the filling and press lightly.

    Brush the sides of the pie with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.

19. STEP 19

    

    Immediately bake the nectarine pie in an oven preheated to 180C for about 35 minutes. The dough should brown and the fruit should become soft. Determine the cooking time based on the operating characteristics of your oven.
