Time 1h35m

Yield Makes one 13-by-15-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (one 14 ounce package), preferably Dufour ( dufourpastrykitchens.com), thawed
All-purpose flour, for surface
3/4 cup ground toasted walnuts
3 tablespoons light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Salt

12 ounces fresh blackberries (about 2 to 3 cups)
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out pastry to a 13-by-15-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface; trim edges with a knife. Transfer to a baking sheet; freeze for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Combine walnuts, brown sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Brush pastry with egg wash, avoiding edges so that egg doesn't drip over sides. Score a line around edge of pastry using a knife to create a 3/4-inch border (do not cut all the way through). Cover center with walnut mixture. Arrange apricots and blackberries on top. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Bake until pastry is golden brown and fruit is soft, about 30 minutes more. Let cool.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the fruit filling. You want it to be thick and jammy, but not so thick that it's dry.
  • Use a good quality pastry dough. You can make your own or use a store-bought dough. Just make sure it's flaky and buttery.
  • Don't overwork the dough. This will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from shrinking.
  • Bake the tart in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly cooked.
  • Let the tart cool before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
