  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Prepare the pie crust or use store bought pastry. To prepare the pie crust ( see photos above), In a bowl measure out the flour, sugar and pinch of salt.
  3. Take the frozen stick of butter and grate it (using a large box hole grater) into that flour mixture and fluff it with a fork to coat them together for 1 second.
  4. Then add in ⅓ cup of cold water and fluff it more with a fork. Clump the dough in your hands, if it holds together it’s done, if not add another tablespoon of water, fluff with the fork and try clumping it again until the dough clumps in your hand ( don’t wait for it to clump using the fork because it will take too much water and this will affect the flakiness of the pastry).
  5. Then wrap it in a plastic wrap and chill it for 30 minutes.
  6. Roll out the pastry over a floured surface to an 11 inch circle and it in a 9 inch circular tart pan. Chill the tart dough for 10 minutes will you prepare the fruit and flour mixture.
  7. Prepare the fruit.
  8. In a bowl mix the flour mixture together using a fork.
  9. Take out the chilled crust, sprinkle half of the flour mixture at the bottom of the crust, top it with the fruit slices, and sprinkle the remaining flour mixture over the fruit.
  10. bake the tart for 35-45 minutes (depending on your oven) until the crust is golden, the fruit is soft and bubble.
  11. Allow the tart to cool down for 30 minutes before cutting and serving it warm. Or chill it in the fridge for 2 hours and serve it cold. Enjoy!
