Ingredients

Scale
  • 68 cups sliced nectarines (about 78 medium nectarines)
  • 1/3 cup sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for skillet)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar (for topping)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons cold butter, diced
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk or heavy cream
  • Granulated or sparkling sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  3. Add sliced nectarines, 1/3 cup sugar, and cornstarch. Cook for 7–8 minutes until juices begin to thicken.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract and transfer the mixture to a 2 to 2.5 qt baking dish.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Cut in the cold diced butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Pour in buttermilk or heavy cream and stir just until the dough forms.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the nectarines.
  9. Sprinkle with sparkling or granulated sugar.
  10. Bake for 38–45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh nectarines for the best flavor, but frozen nectarines can work if drained well.
  • To make it crispier, sprinkle turbinado sugar on top before baking.
  • Rest after baking to let juices thicken naturally.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven to maintain crust texture.
