Tart is a unique delicacy to enjoy with friends and family. It's crisp crust goes beautifully well with the Seasonal Fruits. Top it with any Fruit of your choice. My favourites happen to be Apricot and Mangoes for now as these are in Season now. As for the Mangoes, i have used Dussehri variety as the King of Fruits is wrapping up fast. There are only a few varieties available now and so i have put one of them to use in this gorgeous looking Pie. The combo is divine and a sheer bliss. It's a great one for any day. Be it just weekend family get-togethers or a special holiday or an occasion to celebrate something special, this amazing Dessert fits them all. Celebrate your special moments with this lip-smacking homemade Apricot and Mango Pie/Tart and you will not regret it.
There are umpteen options to whip up a beautiful looking Pie with available Seasonal Fruits especially Berries or even any other of your choice or availability. Seasonal Fruits go very well with it. You will love it's flavour and texture. The best part being that it just melts in mouth and tastes super yummy.
Let's get started then.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

1 hour 15 minutes

1

Add in the plain flour, sugar and butter cubes (cut the butter into small cubes). Mix all together until the mixture turns coarse like breadcrumbs. Add an egg or if not using replace it with 2 to 3 tablespoon of ice cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time to bind the dough. Do not knead. Just gather into a ball. And do not use much water, otherwise the pastry dough would shrink. Cover with a foil or a cling and place in the refrigerator for 25-30 minutes.
2

After the stipulated time, take it out of the refrigerator. Roll into a disc which is not exactly round and the edges being uneven too as basically it's a pastry dough. And that's perfectly okay. Place the disc gently into the pie pan next. Trim the edges of the pastry to fit the sides of the pan. Make sure you press your pie dough on the edges too.
3

In the meantime prepare the apricot and mango compote. Heat butter and add sliced apricots and mangoes to a pan along with powdered sugar. Mix well and cook until soft and mushy. Cover and cook on a medium high heat until done. Later on add them to the pie pan once at room temperature.
4

Bake on 160° for 40-45 minutes in a preheated oven.
5

Slice and enjoy. Sprinkle with some more of the powdered sugar on top just before serving. It's a great one for important occasions or family reunions and get togethers. Or practically on any day. Even the weekends and special holidays. Yum! Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
