Number Of Ingredients 14

For the pie dough:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold butter
6 tablespoons cold solid vegetable shortening
About 6 tablespoons ice water
1 cup each: pitted prunes, dried apricots and peeled, chopped apples
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup shelled walnut halves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup Grand Marnier liqueur
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • 1. Make the dough: Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a bowl. Add the butter and shortening. Using fingertips or a pastry blender, rub the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle in the ice water, 2 tablespoons at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough gathers together. Divide the dough into 2 disks; wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to 350°:F.
  • 3. In a pot, place the fruits in water just to cover; simmer until tender, 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly and chop. Return to the pot; add the sugar, walnuts, butter and Grand Marnier; simmer for 5 minutes, stirring. Let cool.
  • 4. Roll a disk of dough into an 11-inch circle, 1/4-inch thick, on a lightly floured surface. Line a 9-inch pie pan, leaving a 1-inch overhang; spoon in the filling, mounding it slightly.
  • 5. Roll the remaining disk as before; cut into 1/2-inch strips and arrange lattice-fashion over the filling; crimp decoratively. Brush the lattice with the beaten egg.
  • 6. Bake the tart until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm or cool.

I'm allergic to apples, so I'm not sure if I can make this tart. Do you have any suggestions for substitutions?

I'm not a big fan of tarts, but this one looks really good. I might have to give it a try.

This tart was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I won't be making this again.

I've made this tart several times and it's always turned out great. It's a great recipe for beginners.

This tart is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use seasonal fruit to make it different every time.

The crust was a little too crumbly for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I would definitely make this again with a different crust recipe.

I made this tart for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the unique flavor combination.

This tart was a real winner! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was sweet and tart with a hint of spice. It was the perfect fall dessert.
