Instructions
-
Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, pulse together flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add water a tablespoon at a time until dough comes together.
-
Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15–18 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
-
Make the filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled crust.
-
Arrange the fruit: Top the filling with your choice of fresh fruit in a decorative pattern.
-
Glaze: Heat apricot jam and water in a small saucepan until melted. Brush over fruit for a glossy finish.
-
Chill tart for 1 hour before serving.
