Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 ounces buttery salted crackers, such as Club or Ritz
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 3/4 cups (about 20 ounces) apricot preserves (or your favorite jam)
Barely sweetened whipped cream for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pulse the crackers in a food processor until very finely ground. Add the butter and sugar and pulse until thoroughly combined. Remove a rounded tablespoon of the crumb mixture and set aside.
  • Turn the mixture out into a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom set on a cookie sheet and press evenly along the bottom and up the sides. Bake until light golden, about 15 minutes. Lightly press down on the crust if it has puffed up on the bottom.
  • Spoon the preserves into the tart shell and gently smooth to spread evenly. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top. Bake until the jam is a shade darker and the edges are bubbling slightly, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
  • Serve at room temperature with whipped cream, if using.

JAM TARTS

These are so simple to make that my 3-year-old daughter did most of the work. Make sure not to roll the pastry too thin, and don't put too much jam in.
