Use your choice of kuchen dough and put it together.
For this type of kuchen I used a simple Streusal, one, with flour, sugar, butter and cinnamon.
Let's make the Streusal. I soften the butter a bit, then add the sugar (white or brown or a combination) or another sweetner like Truvia or Monkfruit. Use softened or melted butter and mix the flour, sugar and cinnamon if you want it in a bowl.....
.....Work the streusal with a spoon and fingers till you get small crumbles.
Cut, pit and slice the each half into nice thick wedges so they keep their shape.
Coat with a little sugar or Truvia
Press the dough into a spring form pan and push the sides up a bit, then place the nectarines cut side
up in a circle around the edge, then make another row inside that one....
Top the plums with Streusal....
....bake the Kuchen for 35 -40 min at 350 till nice and brown on top. You'll notice bubbling happening which tells you that the fruit is cooked.
Remove kuchen and place on a rack to cool for an hour before you remove from the pan.
Serve with whipped cream.
The sepringform pan always makes a beautiful presentation for the edges that you won't get
making it in a pan that you can't remove.
I made this Berry Kuchen with
Berries that I had frozen. It turned out well.
Here is one I made using a big sack of Asian Pears of my neighbors tree.
