Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. For the crust combine flour, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbles.

Remove from fridge and on a lightly floured surface roll out dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Lay dough into pan and press to form around edges.
For the filling combine ingredients in a medium bowl and stir until mixed well. Pour into crust and bake for 1 hour until golden. Remove, let rest for 15 minutes then chill atleast 30 minutes to set. Slice and serve.
