    This simple patriotic flag fruit tart recipe is a big hit at parties with fresh fruit. Made with refrigerated cookie dough for the crust.

    This simple recipe for a flag fruit tart is a big hit at parties and can be decorated a number of ways with fresh fruit.

    This simple patriotic flag fruit tart recipe is a big hit at parties. It's another oldie but goodie. Using fresh fruit, packaged cookie dough, and an easy cream cheese filling you can make a beautiful and tasty tart for everyone to enjoy.

    Easy Flag Fruit Tart

    For this one I arranged the fruit on a rectangular jelly roll pan in the shape of the US flag, but in the original recipe, that I learned from my mom, was made in a round pizza pan. The original recipe also includes more fruit such as bananas, strawberries and peach slices which you would arrange in layers so that you would get a bit of everything when you cut the tart into pie wedges. It can be quite a work of art with a rainbow full of colors.

    If you decide to make an all-occasion fruit tart using a round pan, you can start in the middle with a couple of berries. Then form rings of different fruit around the middle, working your way out to the edge. Peach slices, and kiwi are great choices in addition to berries.  I have also used sliced grapes and bananas but you need to watch that the bananas don't turn brown. The apricot glaze should help. If you are worried, skip the bananas.

      I have always wanted to do this but my husband usually works on the 4th and we don't ever have a party. I will be away the end of June and won't get home until the 3rd so I guess I won't be doing it again this year! Remind us again next year 🙂

        Hi Lisa,

        Too funny. How about Memorial Day? Of course you can make any design you want to. Maybe something fun for the Summer Solstice? Anyway, I hope you get to try it soon.
        Have a great weekend!
