Tart

A tart is a sweet or savory dish with a pastry shell. The word “tart” can refer to the dish itself or the pastry shell. Tarts are thought to have originated in medieval times, and the first recipe for a tart was recorded in 1381.

Tarts can be made with a variety of fillings, including fruit, custard, chocolate, and nuts. The most popular tart recipe is the French tart Tatin, which is made with apples and caramel.

Tarts are typically baked in a tart pan, which has a fluted edge and is shallow. Tart pans can be made of metal, glass, or ceramic.
