rustic fruit tart
This dough is a little hard to work with, but is well worth the effort. The perfect crust for tarts. It can stand up to the moisture in the fruit without getting soggy. I make my own brown sugar blend. Combine 3 1/2 c. light brown sugar and 3 c Truvia. Store in an airtight container. You can use any canned fruit. I can only find peaches and pears sweetened with Splenda in my area.

How To Make rustic fruit tart
-
Step 1Mix flour, salt and Splenda in food processor.
-
Step 2Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse corn meal.
-
Step 3Add cream cheese and pulse until mixture resembles small peas. Dough should stick together when a small amount is squeezed in your hand.
-
Step 4Turn dough out onto the center of plastic wrap.
-
Step 5Use the wrap instead of your hands to shape dough into a ball.
-
Step 6Cover dough with the plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
-
Step 7While dough is chilling drain the fruit, reserving the liquid.
-
Step 8Remove chilled dough and roll out on lightly floured surface to approximately 1/4" thick. Don't try to make the dough look perfect. The irregularity of the crust is what makes it appealing.
-
Step 9Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Step 10Beginning at the center of the crust alternate slices of fruits to create an attractive pattern. Leave a 2" crust border for folding.
-
Step 11Sprinkle 1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend over fruit.
-
Step 12Fold edges of crust over fruit. Edges will overlap.
-
Step 13Lightly brush the crust with a small amount of the reserved syrup. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Splenda brown sugar blend over the crust.
-
Step 14Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is browned. Filling will be quite wet when first removed from oven but will set up as it cools.
