Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups assorted fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries)
• 0.25 cups apricot preserves
• 1 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely before proceeding.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 7

Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the filling in any pattern you like. Get creative with colors and shapes!

Step 8

In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves and water over low heat until melted and smooth. Strain if desired to remove any solids.

Step 9

Using a pastry brush, gently brush the apricot glaze over the arranged fruit to give it a glossy finish.

Step 10

Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set.

Step 11

Remove the tart from the pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy your easy fresh fruit tart!
