Ingredients (serves 8):

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp ice water


For the filling:

- 2 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2 ripe plums, peeled and sliced
- 2 apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger

- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim the edges and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, plums, and apples. Add the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cornstarch, and toss to coat the fruit.
6. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared crust and drizzle with melted butter.
7. Bake the tart for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is tender.
8. Let the tart cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your butter is chilled before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky crust.
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture. Don't overwork the dough, or it will become tough.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork before adding the fruit filling. This will prevent the crust from puffing up during baking.
- Let the tart cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.
