Time 2h5m

Yield Makes one 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup coarse cornmeal
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
1 1/2 pounds apricots, pitted and cut into 3/4-inch wedges
1 pound fresh sweet cherries, pitted and halved
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch of kosher salt
1 large egg, whisked
Coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Crust:Pulse flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Drizzle in 6 tablespoons ice water evenly. Pulse until dough holds together when pressed between 2 fingers (it should not be wet or sticky). If too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue pulsing. Shape into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour; or freeze up to 3 months.
  • Filling:In a large bowl, combine apricots, cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out dough to a 15-inch circle. Transfer to a 10-inch pie dish; pour filling into crust. Fold edges of crust over filling, overlapping as necessary. Brush edges of dough with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in middle and bottom. Place a foil-lined baking sheet on bottom rack. Bake on middle rack until pastry is golden and juices are bubbling in center, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. (If crust is browning too quickly, tent with foil.) Transfer to a wire rack; let cool at least 2 hours before serving. Pie can be stored at room temperature up to 1 day.

I made this tart for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it, even the people who don't usually like tarts. The crust was flaky and the filling was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the tart turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to use a bit less sugar in the filling. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.
