Description

These tarts are the answer to what to do with all that summer fruit comin’ atcha. A buttery, flaky crust envelopes the sweet fruit in a neat little package. Serve warm with a scoop of homemade vanilla bean ice cream (see Ree’s recipe for that).

Ingredients

  • FOR PASTRY:
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ⅓ cups Sugar
  • ¾ cups Cold Butter
  • 2 whole Egg Yolks, Beaten
  • ¼ cups Sour Cream
  • 3 Tablespoons Ice Water
  • _____
  • FOR FILLING:
  • ⅔ cups Sugar
  • ¼ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 6 cups Fresh Fruit, Such As Sliced Apples, Nectarines, Apricots, Strawberries, Blueberries, Marionberries, Whatever Is Fresh And In Season
  • ¼ cups Sugar

Preparation

In a food processor, mix the flour and sugar. Add butter and blend for 10 seconds or so. The butter should be in small pea-sized pieces.

In a separate bowl, mix together egg yolks, sour cream and ice water. Add egg yolk mixture into processor and blend just until a ball forms.

Place the ball of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Once the dough is chilled and easy to handle, divide it into 8 portions. Roll these out into 6 inch circles and place them on baking sheets. Silpats work great. Any baked on juices will easily wash off. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

FILLING

Combine 2/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour
6-8 cups fresh fruit, slice and mix with 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar.

Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons or so of the sugar and flour mixture on each pastry circle to within 1/2 inch of edges.

Combine the fruit and 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar and mix gently. Place 3/4 to 1 cup of the fruit mixture onto the pastry. Fold up edges slightly.

Bake 20-25 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.

Pretty simple to prepare and they look pretty too! Thanks for a great recipe!
