Ingredients

• 160 grams whole wheat pastry flour
• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 60 grams plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons ice water
• 1 medium fresh pineapple
• 60 grams honey
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

To make the tart crust, combine whole wheat pastry flour and salt in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture.

Step 4

Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Mix in the Greek yogurt and a tablespoon of ice water, gently kneading until it forms a dough. Add more water, a teaspoon at a time, if the dough is too dry.

Step 6

Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 7

While the dough chills, prepare the pineapple filling. Peel, core, and chop the fresh pineapple into small pieces.

Step 8

Place the pineapple pieces in a saucepan over medium heat with honey and 2 tablespoons of water.

Step 9

Cook until the pineapple begins to soften and releases its juices, about 10 minutes.

Step 10

In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch with a little water, then mix it into the pineapple.

Step 11

Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5 more minutes. Stir in vanilla extract and let it cool.

Step 12

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a tart pan (about 9 inches in diameter).

Step 13

Gently press the dough into the tart pan and trim the edges.

Step 14

Pour the cooled pineapple filling into the crust.

Step 15

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 16

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, serve with a dollop of low-fat whipped cream.
