Summer Harvest Tart

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 45 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling YIELD: 12 servings.
One of my favorite bakeries makes this scrumptious tart that uses fall and summer fruit, so I created my own version. I like to serve it warm with whipped cream or ice cream and with a cup of coffee on a cool autumn night. —Sarah Knoblock, Hyde Park, Indiana
