Easy Fruit Tart Pie



Use seasonal fresh fruit if possible. The fresher the better! Charts below for California seasonal fruits.

INGREDIENTS

1.5 cups self rising flour

1 1/4 sticks butter (3/4 cup)

1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1/2 cup chopped nuts

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1.5 cups powdered sugar

8 oz. cool whip

Fruit: Seasonal (I used a can of crushed pineapple, 1 basket of strawberries, 2 kiwi's, and 1 banana)

DIRECTIONS

Mix flour, butter, brown sugar, and nuts together thoroughly. Press dough into greased 12' pizza pan or pie pan. I used a 9' round pie pan. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until crust is brown. Remove from oven, let cool.

Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Cool Whip topping together and blend until smooth. Spread mixture onto cooled crust. Arrange fruit on top. Chill before serving.

Thank you Tera for sharing this recipe with me. DELICIOUS!
