Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom using no-stick cooking spray. To ensure stability, place the prepared tart pan on a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet.
2
In a large bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix with softened butter using a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add grated lemon peel and vanilla extract, then stir with a fork to combine thoroughly. Reserve 1/3 cup of this mixture for the crumble topping.
3
Press the remaining dough mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared tart pan, forming the crust.
4
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
5
While the crust is baking, mix the blueberry preserves with ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
6
Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and carefully spread the blueberry preserve mixture over the top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
7
Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture evenly over the blueberry layer.
8
Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are set and the topping is lightly golden.
9
Allow the tart to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the outer rim of the tart pan, transfer the tart to a serving platter, and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
