Peach, Pear, or Apple Custard Tart

It is with great effort that I give this recipe to you all today. It has taken me several years to find the right mixer of Ingredients to make this amazing tart. So with that said, I hope you all enjoy this recipe.



Crust
2 Cups Flour
1 and 1/2 sticks (or 12 oz.) butter minced
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup cold water

Filling
About 8 medium peaches or 6 medium apples or 8 medium very ripe pears
3 Large Egg Yolks
3/4 cup Sour Cream
3/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour

Glaze
1/2 cup Peach, Apricot or Orange Jelly
1 tablespoon orange juice

Directions
* Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
* In a standing mix or with an electric mixer mix the minced butter, flour and sugar until it forms pea sized crumbs.
*Add the water and mix until it just forms a dough ball. Don't mix to much you want visible minced pieces of butter in your dough ball.
*Put to dough in to refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
*While your dough is cooling peel the fruit you've chosen and cut in to thin slices and set aside.
*In a separate bowl combine the egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, and flour and beat until smooth.
*Take out your crust and roll out until it fits the tart or pie pan you've chosen.
*Layer the sliced peaches in the crust.

* Just before the tart is finished warm the glaze in the microwave for 30 seconds.
