Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shortening
- ½ cup cold water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups sliced fresh peaches
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut in shortening by rubbing between your fingers until the mixture resembles oatmeal. Gradually stir in water until dough is just wet enough to hold together. Knead briefly, just so the dough holds together without crumbling. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the fruit.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the peaches and blackberries, and toss gently to coat. Set aside.
- Roll out the crust dough into a rough circle about the size of a dinner plate, and place on a flat baking sheet. Pile the fruit into a level mound in the center of the dough, leaving 1 to 2 inches of exposed dough around the edge. Throw out any juices that may have accumulated in the fruit bowl. Fold the dough up over the fruit – the edges should cover some of the fruit and berries, but not reach the center of the tart.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fruit is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting into wedges and serving.

Didn’t make the actual “tart” part…awful pie. Tasted awful
Best Best Best pie ever! Cannot wait to make it again…
This is my mother’s favorite thing to make! Do not forget the step of draining the fruit while in the bowl. The second time I made this the crust did not fold up like before because the juices sank into the crust making it a little soggy. Love this!
I used blueberries instead of peaches and blackberries. And since I didn’t have as much fruit as this recipe asked for I halved the measurements. The crust was nice and buttery and my family loved it. The blueberries were kinda bitter? I don’t know why. But great recipe. The family loved it and it was both quick and easy (took me under ten minutes to prepare).
Excellent dessert that my 12 year old made all by himself 🙂 We used an apple and a pear, and served with dulce de leche ice cream, yum yum.
dont’ use this recipe. for the crust use the one saved under recipes to try. then for the middle use the one for cream cheese blueberry pie. trishs and eileens
I gave this recipe an extra star for ease of prep. However pretty and easy to handle, the crust tasted bland and doughy. We ate the fruit out of the middle.
Scored MAJOR points with the new boyfriend for this fruit tart! The crust got the most compliments and looked so pretty in the rippled tort pie pan I found at IKEA. Perfect recipe! Will make AGAIN and AGAIN! I used an electric mixer. I also did not fold the dough up over the fruit but instead pressed it into the ripples of my tart pan. Baked the night before and served for dessert the next night and breakfast the day after! Used blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. Heavenly!
Simple and good!
I struggle with pie crust and was quite pleased with how easy the crust was to work with. The tarts came out looking beautiful, however I was really very disappointed with the taste of the crust. Rather than being flaky and buttery I found the crust to be crumbly but greasy, and overwhelming to the dessert as a whole. I ate the fruit out of the middle.
Easy and delicious! I used two ripe peaches and a handful of strawberries. The crust was flaky and contained the fruit well. (I used a combination of crisco, margarine and butter because it’s what I had on hand.) I can’t wait to make this again!
Super simple and impressive appearing dessert. I made it extra-simple by using refrigerated pie crust from a box at the store. I used fresh apricots and frozen raspberries. It was so easy and my family loved it. We even topped it with a bit of cream…mmmmm. I’ll make this again for sure.
The fruit part was great! The crust tasted too salty for my family. We ended peeling off the crust and just eating the fruit.
Easy to make, great to look at, and wonderful to eat! I used margarine instead of shortening and added a little vanilla to the crust and I thought it was wonderful!
Crust was pretty bland. Peach filling was nice.
This recipe surprised me at how good and simple it is. I like the open top, it looks so pretty. I have made it twice once with just peaches, and once with peaches and raspberries, which was delicious. I will take another reviewers idea and make the individual tarts in cupcake pans, I like the idea of the chocolate drizzle topping also.
This is outstanding and amazingly easy. I made it with peaches, strawberries, and plums. The crust was perfect (thanks especially to my stand mixer)! It was a big hit at home and I will definitely keep this one on file. If you’re looking for a quick, yummy dessert, this is a great one. This crust is so good I’ve also used it for pie. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on the crust and requests for the recipe. It’s the best pie crust I’ve made.)
This recipe makes a very impressive dessert and is not very hard. I used dark chocolate instead of white and it was delicious, especially when made with berries. I think that the time should be taken to arrange the fruit into a beautiful pattern (it’s fun!). I also melted apricot preserves in the microwave for an easy glaze.
I love this recipe! We can not use refined sugar in our house, so I use 3T agave nectar instead. I have made this as a torte several times and as mini tartlettes and have used a variety of fruits. It always comes out wonderful. Thank you for this great recipe!
When I made this tart I used Apricot Jelly and melted it and watered it down and poured over my fruit and man it gave it a good flavor and a prettieness to it.
I made this for a large group of friends. It ruled. Used peaches,strawberries and blueberries. Made fresh whipped cream with a bit of powdered sugar to top. huge hit!
