Author Notes
This was an expirement spurred on by the need for comfort food and something sweet using only items I have in my kitchen (aka instead of running to the store to pick up things I counted on my resourceful creativity =D) I used the first and only Short Crust Pastry recipe I learned. I don't know where the recipe comes from but I adapted mine a while ago by adding flavoring (using spices and/or extracts) to the crust.
Why is it "Very Rustic"? Because I don't have an actual tart pan and my tart crust always looks a bit sloppy, but it's still yummy =)
I don't have a picture for the finished product. We dug in before I remembered to take pics, but I have a few pictures of the process! Hopefully I will make this again soon AND remember to take a finished pic! —TheFriendlyFoodieGirl
