Description
This is the kind of tart that smells like holidays and warm kitchens. It’s buttery, generously filled, and that grated topping turns beautifully golden in the oven.
Ingredients
Crust
- 500 ml plain flour
- 80 ml sugar
- 160 g cold butter, grated
- 1 egg yolk
- 25 ml (2 tbsp) iced water
Filling
- 500 – 750 ml (About 2 to 3 cups) of fruit mince, enough to generously fill the tart
Topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, rub together 500 ml plain flour and 80 ml sugar with 160 g cold grated butter until it looks like fine breadcrumbs.
- If you’re using a food processor, pulse gently, don’t overdo it. You still want a light texture.
- Add 1 egg yolk and 2 tbsp iced water.
- Mix just until the dough starts coming together.
- If it feels too dry, add 1 tsp of extra iced water at a time.
- If it feels sticky, dust lightly with a bit of flour. Don’t overwork it or the crust will be tough.
- Shape into a disc, wrap in cling wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400⁰F (200⁰C).
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll the chilled dough to about 3 to 4 mm thick.
- Gently lift it into your pie dish, pressing it into the corners without stretching. Trim the edges if needed.
- Prick the base lightly with a fork. If your fruit mince is very moist, you can sprinkle 1 tbsp fine breadcrumbs over the base to prevent sogginess.
- Keep about 1/4 of the dough aside for grating over the top.
- Spoon in enough fruit mince to fill the crust generously, about 2 to 3 cups depending on your dish. Spread it evenly, but don’t pack it down too firmly.
- Grate the reserved dough evenly over the fruit mince.
- Sprinkle 2 to 3 tbsp flaked coconut and 2 to 3 tbsp flaked almonds over the top.
Bake
- Bake at 400⁰F (200⁰C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is light golden and the topping looks toasted.
- If the edges brown too quickly, loosely cover them with foil for the last 5 to 10 min.
- Let the tart cool for at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing so the filling can settle properly.
