Tart with phyllo pastry, apples and berries, a very delicious and crunchy dessert that stays crunchy with every bite even the next day. After making the chocolate version, which you can find here, I couldn’t miss the apple and berry version which I absolutely love. It takes very little time to prepare it and with very few ingredients, obviously the main one that makes it so crunchy is precisely the phyllo pastry which you can easily find at the supermarket but if you want, you can also make it at home. You just have to butter the layers and then add an egg mixture and the crunch comes out marvelously. I recommend trying it and I’m sure you’ll make it often as I do. Let’s see what we need to make the Tart with phyllo pastry, apples and berries.

Ingredients
SHOPPING LIST
- 1 roll phyllo pastry
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 3.5 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup butter (melted for brushing)
- 1 apple
- berries (as needed)
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Steps
LET’S PREPARE THE TART
Spread the phyllo sheets, line a baking tray with dampened and squeezed baking paper so that the phyllo pastry stays in place. I used a rectangular tray about 12 inches long and 8 inches high, but you can use whatever you prefer. Cover the bottom of the tray with the baking paper. Cut the phyllo sheets in half and start brushing the first sheet with the butter melted in a double boiler beforehand, overlap another sheet on the one you buttered and brush it. Place them at the bottom of the tray; you should put at least 4 pieces, otherwise, it will remain soft underneath. Once the base is done, start preparing the top. Always butter the phyllo sheet, overlap another, and butter it, then starting from the shorter side, begin closing it like a fan. Arrange all the fan pieces you obtain on top of the base
Slice the apples thinly and place them between the gaps on the surface between the fans, also add the berries. Brush the entire surface of the tart with butter again and then bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15/20 minutes. I used a convection oven, and the first part was cooked in 10 minutes; anyway, bake it until it is nicely colored but be careful not to burn it. In the meantime, in a bowl, beat the egg with the sugar, the melted butter, and finally the milk. Mix everything well, take the tart out of the oven and pour the liquid mixture over it, bake again for another 15/20 minutes. Remove from oven and dust with powdered sugar.
