nut tart

Pecan pie's cousin

A nut tart is a pastry with a filling of nuts—typically pecans, walnuts, or almonds—bound with sugar, butter, and eggs in a shallow crust.

The category includes pecan pie's refined cousin and European varieties like Engadiner Nusstorte.

She brought a walnut tart to the dinner party.
