A Quick and Easy Dessert

If you're anything like me, you have far too many jars of jam sitting in on your pantry shelves, so for a quick dessert, I make a batch of paté brisee pie dough (2 cups of flour, 1 stick of butter cut into cubes, a quarter cup of ice water, and a pinch of salt), roll it out on a parchment lined sheet pan, then fill the center with a jar of delicious fruit jam. Brush the crust with an egg white mixed with a little water and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. You end up with beautiful handcrafted (and tasty!) dessert in well under an hour. In this case, I used our local favorite, Heidi's Raspberry Jam.
