Grape Tarts

Well, the reason that I made this tart was that my brother bought a large box of the Shine Muscat grapes.

Grapes are one of my family's favorite fruit, so having a lot of it was not a problem, haha.

As the grapes were very sweet, I thought that if I turned it into a tart it would be delicious too. 

Anyway, I didn't want to roll the pastry (I wanted to eat something gentle it both texture and flavor ^^), so I decided to use Sable Breton as a base. The recipe that I used will give you a cake-like base. 

After baking, don't forget to press an indent in the center of the Sable Breton so you will have a space for your Grape Compote. Adding the pastry cream not only gives the tarts deliciousness but it also helps to keep the grapes in place too.

Brushing the top with apricot jam makes the tart more beautiful but if you don't have the jam or don't want to, just omit it. 


You can use other kinds of grapes as long as you like the taste of it, haha. I used Shine Muscat grapes because I happened to have it' that's all. 

I hope you will love this recipe, as it's cute, delicious, and very easy to make!
