1

Prepare the Tart Shell

Start by combining 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (cold and cut into small pieces), 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add a few tablespoons of ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a tart pan with a removable bottom, making sure to evenly cover the bottom and sides. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2

Make the Raspberry Filling

In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3

Bake the Tart Shell

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the tart shell has chilled, line it with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake the tart shell for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the shell is lightly golden. Let it cool completely.

4

Assemble and Garnish

Pour the raspberry filling into the cooled tart shell, spreading it out evenly. Arrange fresh raspberries on top of the filling, creating an eye-catching pattern. For an extra touch of elegance, you can brush the raspberries with a light layer of warmed apricot jam. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
