Ingredients

• For the crust:
• - 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/2 teaspoon salt
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• - 1 egg yolk
• - 2 tablespoons ice water
• For the custard:
• - 1 and 1/2 cups milk
• - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/4 cup cornstarch
• - 4 egg yolks
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the fruit topping:
• - Assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and peaches)
• - 1/4 cup apricot jam
• - 1 tablespoon water

Directions

1. In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water. Gradually add the egg mixture to the food processor and pulse until the dough comes together.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a tart pan. Press the dough into the pan, trimming any excess.
5. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. Remove the parchment paper and weights and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
7. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
8. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until it thickens, stirring constantly.
9. Once the custard thickens, remove it from the heat and pour it into the cooled tart crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
10. Arrange the fresh fruits on top of the custard.
11. In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam and water over low heat until it becomes liquid. Brush the mixture over the fruit to glaze it.
12. Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve chilled and enjoy!
