First, mix the cold butter and cream cheese. Add the flour and stir until you get a lumpy mixture.
You have to get a compact mass. Next, knead the dough into a round disk, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
Wash, peel and thinly slice the apples and pears. Then mix with the orange juice.
Then mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and cornstarch. Add the fruit with the sugar and spice mixture and set aside.
Preheat the oven to approximately 190 ºC. Next, grease with butter and sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Pour the dough into the mould.
Distribute the fruits decoratively over the dough. Bake the tart in the oven until the batter is golden brown and the filling is bubbling—approximately 30 minutes.
Remove the cake from the oven, and with a brush, paint with the apricot jam. Serve cold.
