There’s a quiet elegance to a tart.No towering layers or glossy glazes—just crisp pastry, vibrant fruit, and the kind of comfort that lingers long after the last bite.This Blueberry Crumble Tart is all that and more: rustic in appearance, refined in flavor, and deeply satisfying in a way only the best home baking can be.

This tart begins with a Pâte Sucrée crust—the French cousin of shortcrust—tender and buttery but with enough structure to hold its own.The dough is creamed like cake batter, a simple technique that keeps it easy to roll and less likely to shrink in the oven.The filling takes a cue from jam-making: Half the berries are simmered into a rich compote, deep and sweet, while the rest are left whole to lend freshness and bite.

A touch of cornstarch ensures it sets softly, never sliding out with the first cut.And on top, a sandy, nubbly crumble—scented with cinnamon—bakes into a golden crown.This is the tart for barefoot sun-drenched afternoons, for generous slices with scoops of ice cream, and for weekend mornings when only a spoon will do.

It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be.It’s perfect.Click here to download a printable PDF of this lesson! THE COMPONENTS PÂTE SUCRÉE: Think of this as the architectural base.
