Rustic Berry Tart Recipe
I’m a rustic baker at heart. I like my pie crusts to look homemade. I like the unevenness of a pie crust. I like my cookies lumpy and I like my brownies gooey and messy.
I enjoyed making this tart because when you say “tart”, I believe a rustic look is implied and understood. At least in my rustic mind, it is.
I used my pie crust recipe for the crust of this tart and added a touch of cinnamon to make it pop. There is nothing fancy about the look of this dessert and it is not overly sweet one bit!
