Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 1 1/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed Keep cold for flakiness.
  • 1 large egg
  • 2–3 tablespoons cold milk (dairy or plant-based) Use as needed.

For the spread and topping

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Dairy-free option available.
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 orange (optional) Adds flavor.
  • 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (sliced apples, pears, figs, persimmons, grapes, or late-season berries) Use firm fruit.
  • 1–2 tablespoons apricot jam, warmed and strained for glaze

Instructions
 

Preheat and prepare

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the crust

  • In a bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the egg and 2 tablespoons cold milk; add the extra tablespoon if dough seems dry. Form a disc, wrap, and chill for 15 minutes.

Roll and blind-bake

  • Lightly flour a piece of parchment and gently roll the dough into a 10–12 inch circle. Transfer to the prepared pan.
  • Prick the surface lightly with a fork. Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool completely.

Make the creamy spread

  • Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla, and orange zest until smooth and spreadable.

Assemble

  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, leaving a small border.
  • Arrange sliced fruit in concentric circles or a pattern you love.
  • Warm the apricot jam and brush lightly over the fruit to create a shiny finish.

Chill and serve

  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the spread. Slice and enjoy chilled or at cool room temperature.
