These mini plum tarts look impressive enough for the ’gram (or your in-laws) but are absurdly simple to make, and parchment lining ensures easy cleanup. Besides the fresh plums and frozen pastry, we bet you have everything you need on hand to pull this easy dessert together. Bonus: You can even leave your tart pan and food processor in the cupboard.
