Rustic Cranberry-Apple Tart image

This is a fast, delicious, beautiful tart I made to use leftover nut roll filling. So easy you can whip it up for a quick dessert and so impressive you'll be proud to serve it for guests, too. Take it over the top with jarred caramel sauce, heated and drizzled over a scoop of good vanilla bean ice cream--outstanding!

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.

I'm allergic to cranberries. Do you think I could substitute another fruit, like blueberries?

This tart was a little too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try adding more sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of cranberry desserts, but this tart changed my mind. The tartness of the cranberries was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the apples, and the crust was amazing.
