How to make the crust:
The shortbread-like crust is a press-in crust, which makes it no-fuss and stress-free. Plus, it comes together in no time. When placing your crust in the tart pan, be sure to press it all the way up the sides to the top of the pan until the dough is smooth (the dough will shrink as it bakes).

A soggy crust can be a worry when making a fruit tart. To prevent that, we bake our crust before adding the filling to keep it sturdy.
