Made with store-bought puff pastry, this tart comes together in no time and requires minimal ingredients. The result? A delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup butter, cold and cubed
¼ cup vegetable shortening, cold and cubed
1 teaspoon salt
3-4 tablespoons cold water
1 ½ pounds Swiss plums, pitted and halved
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup apricot jam
Instructions:
1. Make the crust
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, vegetable shortening, and salt. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and place it in a 9-inch tart pan. Trim off the excess dough and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
2. Prepare the filling
In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Add the Swiss plums to the mixture and toss to coat.
Arrange the plums in a circular pattern on top of the crust, starting from the outside and working your way in.
Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the plums are soft.
While the tart is still warm, brush the top with apricot jam to give it a glossy finish.
3. Serve and enjoy!
