Sunny Skies Fruit Tart

I still have a major sweet tooth since I made my  Blueberry Crumble.  It went very fast and I'm still craving sweets. Making a Fruit Tart is probably the easiest way to get more fruit in your diet. I arranged my fruit in a cute sunny type pattern ( or perhaps flower like, depends on how you look at it) . I think it's just so fun for summer.



The crust is basically the top from the blueberry crumble, just pressed into the pan and baked before adding filling. It's a simple, yet pretty and healthy dessert. I know most fruit tarts have a type of pastry filling, but I didn't want all that sugar, and if using cocoanut yogurt and maple syrup in place of honey, this could be vegan.So I did some research, and people use yogurt all the time. The recipe is below, remember to try to use organic is possible. 


Sunny Skies Fruit Tart 

* 1and 1/2 cup rolled oats
* 1/4 cup sliced almonds 
* 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 
* 1 egg 
* 1/2 cup Honey ( or less if you prefer, may also use maple syrup in place of honey) 
* 1 and 1/2 cup Organic Vanilla Yogurt ( you may use coconut yogurt or soy yogurt to make it vegan)
* Assorted Fresh Fruit ( I used Peaches, Strawberries and 
 Blueberries)


Directions : 
Combine oats, vanilla, almonds, egg, and honey in a large bowl. Mix till everything is well combined. Press into a prepared ( lightly greased) tart or pie pan. Bake the Crust at 350 for 15-25 minutes or until browned. 
Once the Crust is baked, allow to sit and fully cool. After the crust is cooled, fill the crust with the yogurt. You may swirl a bit of honey on the yogurt for extra sweetness. Next arrange fruit as desired on top. You may prepare a glaze ( basically heating apricot preserves till liquid and shiny, then brushing over the fruits) to brush over the fruit, or use another type of fruit preserve unless your serving this tart right away. 

Hope you enjoy this recipe :)
