Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (9 inch) pie crust
2 cups chopped walnuts
½ cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs, divided
¼ cup butter, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (20 ounce) can apple pie filling
½ cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon Demerara sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F (210 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange pie crust on the prepared baking sheet. Mix walnuts, brown sugar, 1 egg, butter, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Spread the walnut filling over the pie crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the filling in the bowl.
  • Arrange apple slices in a circular pattern over the filling. Sprinkle cranberries over the apples. Drop small amounts of the reserved walnut filling here and there over the apples. Fold crust over the filling, overlapping as necessary to form a rustic circle.
  • Beat remaining egg and water together to make egg wash. Brush edges of crust with the egg wash. Sprinkle Demerara sugar on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is browned and apples are bubbling, about 30 minutes. Place baking sheet on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. Lift up tart using the parchment paper and place directly on a cooling rack for 1 hour.
  • Run a large knife or angled cake spatula under the tart to release the parchment paper and transfer to a serving tray.

Time 55m

Yield 1 tart

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch ground allspice
Pinch salt
1 sheet ready rolled pie dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons peach preserves, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Toss the apples, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Roll the pastry, on a lightly floured surface, into a 12-inch round. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Arrange the pastry on the baking sheet. Put the apple mixture in the center of the pastry and spread evenly to the edges, but leaving enough dough to fold over to create a crust on the rim. Brush the crust with melted butter and drizzle the remaining butter over the apples.
  • Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
  • While tart is cooking, put the peach preserves into a microwavable bowl and microwave until syrupy, about 20 seconds.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 1/2 ounces (5 tablespoons or a little over 1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup dark corn syrup
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup whole, fresh cranberries
2/3 cup walnut pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the sweet dough: Place the sugar, butter, and vanilla extract in the bowl of an electric mixer. With the paddle attachment, beat the ingredients until creamy. Add flour and salt and mix until just combined. Add egg and again mix until just combined. Alternately, this can be done in a food processor. Form a disk out of the dough, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1/2 hour. When dough is slightly chilled, lay it between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, and with a rolling pin, roll it out into a round ? about 1/8-inch in thickness. Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and flip the dough into an ungreased tart or pie pan. With the plastic wrap still on the dough, gently press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan. Use the rolling pin to roll across the top of the tart pan, cutting off excess dough. Remove plastic wrap and set lined pan aside while making the filling. Excess unbaked dough can be rolled out, sprinkled with sugar, and baked as sugar cookies or can be wrapped and frozen for another day.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the Cranberry Walnut Filling: Melt butter and set aside. In a bowl, blend together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the rest of the ingredients, including the butter, and stir until well combined.
  • Pour into tart shell and bake for approximately 30 minutes, until tart is light brown and the filling has set. Cool and remove tart from ring. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate. Tart keeps for about 1 week in the refrigerator. It can be well wrapped and frozen for later use.
