Try this fruit tart to celebrate National Cherry Tart Day

Try this fruit tart to celebrate National Cherry Tart Day

June 18 is National Cherry Tart Day, and I have an easy recipe to share with you to help you celebrate the day deliciously!

Grab some pre-made pie crust dough if you don't have time to make your own; it works just as well!

Mama Steph’s rustic fruit galette

For the crust:

1 1/4 cup flour

1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 oz (1/2 cup, 1 stick, 8 Tbsp) butter, cut into small (1/2-inch) cubes, chilled in freezer at least 15 minutes, preferably an hour

4 to 6 Tbsp ice water

(tip: if you’re pressed for time, use a pastry crust from the refrigerator section; that’s what I used and what you see in the picture! It’s delicious; however, if you have time, it’s fun to try to make  your own crust.)

For the filling:

2-3 peaches, peeled and sliced into thin wedges

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, cherries, blackberries, or other favorite fruit

3 TBS sugar
