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.

For added flavor and sparkle you can use (this was on the original too), apricot preserves, heated on the stove with a little water, to make a nice glaze. Once it is slightly cool spoon it over the tart.

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.
