In a food processor, combine the flour and sugar. Pulse to mix.<br \/>\nb. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.<br \/>\nc. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of ice-cold water.<br \/>\nd. Slowly add the egg mixture to the flour mixture in the food processor while pulsing. Add more water if needed until the dough comes together.<br \/>\ne. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<p>Roll out the pastry:<br \/>\na.

Make your pastry cream or custard according to your preferred recipe or use store-bought.<br \/>\nb. Spread the pastry cream evenly over the cooled tart crust.<\/p>\n<p>Arrange the fruit:<br \/>\na. Wash and slice the fresh fruits as desired.<br \/>\nb. Arrange the fruit slices or pieces on top of the pastry cream in an attractive pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Glaze the tart:<br \/>\na. In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jelly or fruit preserves over low heat until it becomes liquid.<br \/>\nb. Gently brush the melted jelly over the fruit to create a shiny glaze.<\/p>\n<p>Chill the tart:<br \/>\nPlace the fruit tart in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.<\/p>\n<p>Your sweet fruit tart is now ready to be served!
