Fresh Fruit Crumb Pie

Pie, made with delicious nectarines and vanilla in a tasty biscuit base with light coating of crumby dough. The cream filling with an almond mixture intensifies the flavor and makes it juicy, soft and special.
The combination of all these, although quite time consuming, as we have to prepare three different things, compensates us with a hearty, fragrant, fruity pie.
The dough base, is a very easy and manageable dough that can also be used in savory combinations, without the sugar of course. I recommend it and is worth a try.
