Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 2-3 tablespoons ice water
• 3 cups plums, pitted and sliced
• 1 cup raspberries
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Directions

1. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced plums, raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss until the fruits are coated.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle that is around 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a tart pan and press it gently against the sides and bottom. Trim the excess dough.
6. Pour the fruit mixture into the tart shell, spreading it evenly.
7. Brush the edges of the crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake the tart for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the fruits are bubbling.
9. Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
10. Optional: Dust the tart with powdered sugar before serving.
11. Slice and serve the plum and raspberry tart warm or at room temperature.
