Remarks
It's the fruit which makes the outer circle of the tart that you will use most of. So if you prefer pineapple for example, start with that, you will use much more than in the centre.
You can change fruits in this recipe, and/or replace frangipane by rich hazelnut buttercream or pistachio cream.
