Quick and Easy Fruit Tart
This is a ONE BOWL whip it together in a few minutes kind of dessert! Perfect for last minute baker who needs to show up to a dinner party or gets a call that friends will be over in a few hours. We prefer to use fresh fruit, but frozen will do as well. Frozen fruit tends to contain more moisture and might lengthen the cooking time a bit. Choose any fruit you would like to have baked into a moderately sweet pastry!
