1/4 t. salt

1/2 c. unsalted butter, cold and cubed

3 T. ice water

Filling:

1/2 c. white sugar

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. Slowly pour in water while pulsing until dough begins to form. Remove and form into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate about 30 minutes. 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.
