This lovely versatile tart shows up regularly at family gatherings. I can customize it for any holiday occasion by using different-shaped cookie cutouts...or different fruit fillings. And even my picky children gobble it up!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

I made several of these tarts last Christmas to give away as gifts. I included the tart pan and the recipie as part of the gift.

I made the dough in my food processor and it went together in a "snap"

Instead of the cutouts on the pie,I put a lattice top. When the tart was done and cooled, I sprinkled it with confectioners sugar. It got rave reviews !!! It's quite spectacular and easy to make
