Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 500 grams Fresh plums (sliced, pits removed)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Apricot jam (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable base and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and cold water to the flour-butter mixture. Gently mix the dough until it just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle slightly larger than the tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it gently into the base and sides. Trim any excess dough and prick the base with a fork. Place the tart shell in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, toss the sliced plums with the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 6

Remove the chilled tart shell from the refrigerator. Arrange the plum slices in concentric circles inside the tart shell, overlapping slightly.

Step 7

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the plums are tender and bubbling.

Step 8

While the tart is baking, prepare the glaze by heating the apricot jam and water in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.

Step 9

Once the tart is out of the oven, lightly brush the warm glaze over the plums to give them a shiny finish. Allow the tart to cool slightly before removing it from the pan.

Step 10

Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. Optionally, pair with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
