Rustic Fruit Tarts
Pastry
9 tbsp butter, (1 stick + 1
1 tbsp ) soft
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 egg yolks
2 1/2 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose
1/4 cup light cream or milk
Filling
1 cup sour cream, regular or low-fat
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp pie filling enhancer* OR 3 tablespo
flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom, (optional)
1 tbsp lemon zest or 1/4 teaspoon lemon oi
3 large apples, peeled, cored and
diced in 3/4-inch dice, OR; (next summer)
4 large peaches or plums, peeled,, (4 to 5)
seeded and diced, (3 to 4)


Pastry: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar,
salt
and egg yolks until they're light-colored and fluffy. Add the flour and
cream, and mix until well-combined. Divide the dough into six pieces,
round
each piece into a ball, flatten the balls into disks, then cover them with
a
damp cloth, or wrap with plastic wrap, while making the filling.

Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream,
sugar, pie filling enhancer or flour, cinnamon, cardamom (if desired) and
lemon. Toss mixture with the diced fruit.

Assembly and Baking: Roll the disks of dough into 8-inch circles, and
place
them on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon about 1/2
cup of the fruit filling into the center of each disk. Bring the sides of
the dough up around the filling, making pleats to hold the dough in place
if
necessary. Bake the tarts in a preheated 375F oven for 10 minutes, then
turn the oven down to 350F and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
The
apples should be cooked (they won't bubble, but should be fork-tender),
and
the pastry lightly browned. Remove the tarts from the oven and serve warm
or
at room temperature. The tarts are excellent alone, but a dollop of
whipped
cream, vanilla ice cream or Devon cream with brandy melting on the top
makes
them simply irresistible.
