Special Precautions and Tips:
- To prevent your crust from burning, place a baking sheet on the rack below the tart during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead.
- Let the tart cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling set.
