Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-1/4 cup sugar
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
-3-4 tablespoons ice water
-1/4 cup ground amaretti cookies
-2 cups sliced peaches
-1 cup pitted cherries
-1/4 cup sugar
-1 tablespoon lemon juice
-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-1 egg, beaten
-1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches, pitted cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
5. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a rough circle shape about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Sprinkle the ground amaretti cookies onto the center of the dough, leaving about 2 inches around the edges.
7. Spoon the fruit mixture onto the center of the dough, leaving a few inches around the edges.
8. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit mixture, overlapping where necessary.
9. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the top.
10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow the tart to cool slightly before cutting and serving.
