Ruffled Phyllo Tart with Spring Fruit
Recipe courtesy EatingWell.com

Ingredients
Filling:
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 pound fresh rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water
1/2 pound fresh apricots, pitted and quartered (about 4 medium)
1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Crust:

3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
9 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
1 tablespoon dry unseasoned breadcrumbs
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with
cooking spray.

To prepare filling: Combine 1/2 cup sugar, honey and rhubarb in a large saucepan.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the rhubarb is juicy and softens
slightly, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium; gradually add the cornstarch
mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the juices thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.

Combine apricots, strawberries, orange zest and cinnamon in a large bowl. Mix in
the rhubarb.

To prepare crust & bake tart: Mix oil and butter in a small bowl. Cover phyllo
with wax paper or plastic wrap and a slightly damp kitchen towel to prevent it
from drying out. Center one sheet of phyllo in the pie pan, letting the edges hang
over; gently press it into the pan. Dampen a pastry brush with water and lightly
brush some of the oil-butter mixture over the phyllo. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon
breadcrumbs over the bottom. Repeat with 5 more sheets of phyllo, laying each at a
45° angle to the previous one and sprinkling each with breadcrumbs.

Scrape the filling into the crust. Brush one of the remaining phyllo sheets with
oil-butter mixture. Place another sheet on top at a 45° angle. Repeat with

the last sheet. Place the stack on the filling. Fold the overhanging phyllo up
around the tart, creating a ruffled border. Dab any remaining oil-butter mixture
on top. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar. Cut 4 slits in the center
for venting.

Place the tart on a baking sheet and bake until nicely browned and bubbling
slightly, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature (about 1 1/2
hours). Dust with confectioners' sugar.
