Fruit tart

### Classic Fruit Tart Recipe

#### Ingredients:

**For the tart crust (Pâte Sucrée):**
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (65g) powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1-2 tablespoons ice water (as needed)

**For the pastry cream (Crème Pâtissière):**
- 2 cups (480ml) whole milk
- 1 vanilla bean (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract)
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter

**For the glaze:**
- 1/4 cup (60ml) apricot jam or jelly
- 1 tablespoon water

**For the fruit topping:**
- Fresh fruit of your choice (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, mango, etc.)

#### Instructions:

**For the tart crust:**
1. **Prepare the dry ingredients**: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
2. **Incorporate the butter**: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. **Add the egg yolk**: Stir in the egg yolk until the dough begins to come together. If the dough is too dry, add ice water a tablespoon at a time until it just holds together.
4. **Form the dough**: Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. **Roll out the dough**: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch (23cm) tart pan. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan, trimming any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. **Bake the crust**: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool completely.

**For the pastry cream:**
1. **Heat the milk**: In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and vanilla bean (split and seeds scraped) over medium heat until it begins to simmer. If using vanilla extract, add it later.
2. **Whisk the egg yolks**: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and pale.
3. **Temper the eggs**: Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. If using vanilla extract, add it now.
4. **Cook the mixture**: Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes while continuing to whisk.
5. **Add the butter**: Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until smooth. Transfer the pastry cream to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until cold.

**For the glaze:**
1. **Heat the jam**: In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam and water over low heat until melted and smooth. Strain if necessary to remove any lumps.

**Assemble the tart:**
1. **Fill the crust**: Spread the chilled pastry cream evenly into the cooled tart crust.
2. **Arrange the fruit**: Artfully arrange the fresh fruit on top of the pastry cream.
3. **Glaze the fruit**: Using a pastry brush, gently brush the warm apricot glaze over the fruit to give it a shiny finish and prevent drying out.

**Serve:**
- Allow the tart to set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice and enjoy!

**Notes:**
- Feel free to use a combination of your favorite fruits. Just ensure they are fresh and well-prepared.
- The tart can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but it's best enjoyed fresh.
