unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

blueberries

🥗Healthier: blackberries

💰Cheaper: frozen blueberries

Frozen blueberries are often less expensive and can be used directly in baking.

nectarines

🥗Healthier: peaches

💰Cheaper: canned peaches

Canned peaches are a cost-effective alternative that can be used in a pinch.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while cake flour can yield a lighter crust.

Start by making the crust using a pastry blender or a stand mixer.

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond meal, granulated sugar, and salt.

Add frozen shortening into the mixture and cut it in until it resembles the size of a pea.

Beat an egg separately and then mix it into the crust mixture with a fork.

Add a small amount of water (less than a tablespoon) to help bring the dough together, mixing until it resembles cookie dough.

Turn the dough out, shape it into a ball, and wrap it in plastic wrap.

Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour to chill.

Prepare the filling by making almond cream (using either almond paste or almond meal).

Slice nectarines about a quarter of an inch thick, leaving the skin on.

Combine sliced nectarines and blueberries in a bowl with the almond cream.

Roll out the chilled dough on parchment paper to a circular shape, about a quarter of an inch thick.

Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spoon the almond cream mixture onto the center of the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look.
