Easiest Autumn Fruits Tart
Recipe by Kevin Dundon
- Serves4
Ingredients
- 200g fresh berries, cut into slices
- 1 apple, sliced
- 1 pear, sliced
- 1 plum, sliced
- 2-3 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. corn flour
- 1 pinch cinnamon, optional
- 200g puff pastry
- 1 tbsp. hazelnut, crushed – optional
- 1 tbsp icing sugar to serve
- 100ml cream, whipped
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, place the fruit pieces with the sugar, corn flour and cinnamon if using.
- Toss to coat the fruits once or twice. The corn flour will help keep the juice of the fruit
while baking, and help create an extra light crisp layer. - On a lightly floured work surface, roll the pastry into an approximate circle or square about
20cm in diameter or size and 2mm thick. - Pour the fruit mixture over the pastry.
- Tidy the pastry edges over the fruits if needed and brush the edges with egg wash if desired
but it is not necessary. I don’t do it. - Sprinkle the crushed hazelnuts over the tart.
- Place in the oven for 25 – 35 minutes until golden brown and the fruits are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven, serve warm or at room temperature with a dusting of icing sugar, and
extra whipped cream.
