Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixer, beat together the softened butter and sugar until creamy.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Gradually incorporate the flour and salt until the mixture forms a soft dough.
- Press the dough directly into a greased tart pan, evenly spreading it across the bottom and up the sides.
- Lightly prick the bottom with a fork to avoid air bubbles during baking.
Filling
- In a large bowl, mix together the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Baking
- Bake the tart for about 30 to 35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling.
- Allow it to cool for a little while before slicing.

Notes
Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. For a twist, try using mango or peaches instead of cherries, and explore healthier options by swapping sugar or using whole wheat flour.
