Categories     Pear     Apple     Tart

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter, chilled
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 recipe - 2 apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 recipe - 1 pear, peeled and cored and sliced
1/4 cup orange juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup apricot jam, warmed

Steps:

  • Cut the cold butter and cream cheese into the flour with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (This can also be done in a food processor: pulse the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles cornmeal; add the cream cheese and pulse until it's the size of small peas.) When you squeeze a handful of the mixture, it should form a ball.
  • Shape the dough into a round disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Toss the sliced apples and pear with the orange juice. Whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and cornstarch. Toss the fruit with the sugar-spice mixture and set aside.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Set out an 8-inch tart pan, or, if you'll be making a free-form tart (galette), lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured work surface to form a 10-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the tart pan or baking sheet. Arrange the fruit decoratively in the tart pastry.
  • If you're baking the tart on a baking sheet, leave a 2-inch rim of dough and fold it up over the edge of the fruit (the pastry folds will overlap).
  • Bake the tart in the preheated oven until the crust is browned and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and brush it with the apricot jam.

This tart was amazing! I loved the combination of the sweet fruit and the flaky crust. I will definitely be making this again.

The tart was a little runny, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

This tart was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try it again with a different type of fruit.

This tart was a little too sweet for my taste, but the crust was perfect. I'll try it again with less sugar in the filling.
