This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used a different type of crust and I added some spices to the filling.

I didn't have any fall fruit on hand, so I used frozen berries instead. The tart still turned out great!

This tart was absolutely delicious! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was perfectly sweet and tart. I used a variety of fall fruits, including apples, pears, and cranberries, and they all worked together perfectly.
