For an extra nutty flavor, consider adding 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the fruit filling. If you don't have apricot jam, you can use apple jelly or even a simple syrup made with a bit of honey or maple syrup. Feel free to experiment with different fruits like cranberries, plums, or figs to customize your tart based on seasonal availability and personal preference. To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, you can brush the bottom of the crust with a beaten egg white before adding the fruit filling.

01 Step
Recipe View 15 mins Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, cut the cold butter and cream cheese into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (Alternatively, pulse in a food processor until the mixture resembles cornmeal, then add cream cheese and pulse until pea-sized.) The dough should hold together when squeezed. (15 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View 1 hrs Chill the Dough: Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the gluten to relax and prevents the crust from shrinking during baking. (60 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Prepare the Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples and pear with the fresh orange juice. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and cornstarch. Add the sugar-spice mixture to the fruit and toss to coat evenly. (10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Have ready an 8-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for a free-form tart (galette). (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View 15 mins Assemble the Tart: On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled pastry into a 10-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to the tart pan, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough from the edges. Alternatively, transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the fruit decoratively in the tart, slightly overlapping the slices. For a galette, leave a 2-inch border of dough and fold it inward over the fruit, pleating as necessary. (15 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View 30 mins Bake the Tart: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly and tender. (30 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Glaze and Serve: Remove the tart from the oven and brush the warm apricot jam evenly over the fruit to give it a glossy finish. Let the tart cool slightly before serving. (5 minutes)

Jan 16, 2025The only issue I had was that the crust was a bit difficult to work with. Next time, I'll try chilling it for a bit longer.
