Instructions
Step 1
Start by cracking the **three large eggs** into a bowl. Add a **pinch of salt** and beat them together until they are frothy.
Next, slowly add the **sugar** and **vanilla sugar** while mixing continuously, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Reduce the mixer speed and incorporate the **melted butter** and **vegetable oil** into the egg mixture. Once incorporated, add in the **sour cream** and mix it well.
Finally, sift the **flour** and **baking powder** into the mixture and stir gently until just combined.
Step 2
Take your **diced nectarines** and gently fold them into the batter using a spatula. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Grease a 26 cm (10 inch) pie pan and pour the batter into it, smoothing the top with a spatula. Then, layer the top with the **sliced peaches** for a beautiful presentation.
For an added touch, sprinkle **almond petals** over the top of the fruit before baking.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to **180°C (350°F)**. Once the oven is ready, place the pie on the middle rack.
Bake for about **50 minutes** or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy your delicious peach pie with a cup of coffee or tea.
Servings
Equipment
Choose a medium and a large mixing bowl for combining ingredients and whipping eggs. Make sure they are clean and dry for the best results.
This will help you achieve light and fluffy batter quickly. If you don’t have one, a hand whisk can work, but it will require a bit more elbow grease!
Precision is key in baking! Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best outcome.
A classic pie dish is perfect for this recipe. Ensure it's greased to prevent the pie from sticking.
A silicone spatula is great for folding in fruit and cleaning bowls without wasting any batter.



Variations
For a **gluten-free version**, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Just ensure to add a tablespoon of xanthan gum if your blend doesn’t already include it. 🌾✨
If you are looking for a **vegan alternative**, replace the eggs with a flaxseed mixture (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water = 1 egg) and use coconut oil instead of butter. Swap regular sour cream with a plant-based yogurt for that creamy goodness! 🥑💚
