French Plum Tart
A delectable dessert showcasing juicy plums nestled in a golden, buttery crust. With hints of cinnamon and vanilla, this tart offers a delightful balance of sweet and spiced flavors, perfect for indulging your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1½ cups all- purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for spreading
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup cold water
Filling and Topping
- 15 plums, pitted and quartered
- ⅓ cup light or dark brown sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ Tbsp Cinnamon
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
Crust
- In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and butter until the mixture resembles coarse pea-sized crumbs. Alternatively, use a food processor.
- Add the cold water and mix until a soft dough forms. Add more water if needed.
- Knead the dough until soft and non-sticky. Shape into a ball, wrap with baking paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Filling and Topping:
- In a medium bowl, combine the cinnamon, brown sugar, and plums. Stir well and set aside.
Arrange the tart:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a tart pan with butter.
- On a parchment paper, roll the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter, slightly larger than your tart tin.
- Flip the dough onto the tart tin, then press it into the tin. Remove excess dough.
- Poke holes into the tart crust using a fork.
- Spread the prunes evenly over the crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Allow to cool before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
