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 not sure what I did wrong, but my tart turned out really runny. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough?

The tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.

The tart was delicious, but I found the crust to be a bit too thick. Next time, I'll try using a different recipe for the crust.

This tart was a hit at my Thanksgiving gathering! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was sweet and tart. I especially loved the addition of the cranberries, which added a festive touch.
