easy jam tart

Jam Tart

Serves 8-10.  Since I made an insane amount of apricot freezer jam due to our 2015 harvest, I made this easy dessert that could be done with any kind of jam.

            1 unbaked ready made pie crust

            12 oz. (1 ½ c.) jam or preserves

            1 c. flour

            ⅓ c. packed brown sugar

            ¼ tsp. kosher salt

            6 Tbs. butter, melted

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Grease a 10” tart pan with a removable rim.  Gently press the pie crust into the tart pan, trim off any excess above the top rim.  Spread jam over dough, leaving a ½” border around edge.

Whisk together flour, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl.  Stir in butter until combined.  Sprinkle this topping evenly over the jam to form topping.

Bake until lightly browned and jam is bubbling, about 40 minutes.   Let cool 15 minutes before removing from pan (just remove the rim, the tart stays on the bottom form).  Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
