My 14 Favorite Recipes with Peaches, Apricots and Nectarines

Are you as excited as I am about apricots, peaches, and nectarines? When I was on holiday in Spain, there was such a variety available and usually a Euro per kilo. Obviously I bought and bought and baked and baked. Yes, finally peach season is also happening in Germany even though a kilo costs much more than one Euro. Below you will find 14 recipes, which I all enjoy and have made numerous times. I hope you find something you like.

Peach Tart with Four Ingredients

Today I am presenting a peach tart with only four ingredients: peaches, flour, sugar, and butter. If you have these ingredients at home, feel free to get started on this beauty. This is an upsidedown cake, so you will need an ovenproof pan. However, the tarts I photographed here were all made in Spain and I didn’t have an ovenproof frying pan. This is also possible, just make the caramel separately. Think caramelized peaches that are held together by some dough and you will get this summery dessert. Serve with a dollop of whipping cream or ice cream and you’ve got summer on your plate.

Apricot Cobbler with 4 Ingredients

Have you ever heard about cobbler? I would say this is the American solution for a quick and easy dessert. Slice up some fruits and cover with crumbs, that is basically what cobbler is. You don’t have to go through the hassle of making a dough, nope, just toss some fruits together with crumbs and you are done. Yes, you still have to prepare the fruit and you still have to make the crumbs and bake the entire thing, but I mean, this is really easy and simple compared to say a layered cake.

Summery Peach Pie

This summery peach pie is exactly what I need right now. I made the pie crust with buttermilk. Obviously, you can go for the regular pie crust, but I figured, why not try? Pie is something I love in summer, there are so many fruit options in summer. Since we had very ripe and juicy peaches being offered, I decided to go for a peach pie. Who wants a piece or two?

A Simple Fruit Heart for Mother’s Day

If you want to make something delicious for your mom, but are not in the mood for a complicated layer cake, how about this simple fruit heart with pie crust? I used nectarines as filling, but feel free to go with any other fruit. Which fruit is your mom’s favorite? Unfortunately I couldn’t make this fruit heart for my mom for Mother’s Day, she lives too far away. However, today is a very special day for me, it is our ten-year anniversary. So I thought this is also the perfect occasion to make a heart. As soon as I got it out of the oven, my husband had googly eyes and asked whether he could have a piece. So I kept my photo shoot to a minimum to relieve him from his pain.

Peach and Blueberry Coffee Cake

Sommerlicher Pfirsich-Heidelbeer-Rührkuchen

Aren’t coffee cakes the best? They are so unassuming, don’t need that many ingredients and it does not take that long for you to actually get to the baking state of this cake. At least this peach and blueberry coffee cake is prepared quickly. You will have to cream the butter, add the sugar and cream a bit more, add eggs and vanilla extract and from there is basically is done. OK, let’s say the hard part. The rest is mainly waiting. So if you are not in the mood for being in the kitchen forever, how about this peach and blueberry coffee cake?

Uruguay’s Version of a Peach Layer Cake (postre chajá)

It’s time for a peach layer cake, one from my country of origin Uruguay. This cake was actually invented in my home town Paysandú. Postre chajá is a peach layer cake that is named after a bird called chajá (in English it is called southern screamer, the Spanish tries to imitate the loud screams it produces). Below you see a picture of this bird. Why the cake got this name and why it is extremely delicious, I will explain in this blog entry.
