Tips:

·         If you do not wish to bake both tarts immediately, you may refrigerate or freeze the components for the second tart to be shaped and baked later.

·         The same dough, filling and streusel can be used to make individual tartlets by rolling out 5-6” circles. This recipe will make about 18 individual tarts.

·         If you have a kitchen scale, the gram weights will give you more consistent results.
