Cinnamon Apple Cranberry Tart (Galette)

Besides being just gorgeous 😍 this tart is absolutely amazing! Think pie, but easier. 😉Wanting to mix up the dessert table at Thanksgiving and bring something besides pie, definitely give this a try!!!

Serve warm as is, add a scoop of ice cream, or drizzle with some cream... no matter how you enjoy this tart, it will be delicious!! -- Don't like cranberries, just leave 'em out!!

You see that crust?? Look familiar? It's that same butter pie(pastry) crust I posted not too long ago! It is PERFECT for this! Flakey and flavorful, yet sturdy enough to pick these up and eat them by hand! 

WHAT YOU NEED:

• pastry dough (recipe here)
• 3-4 baking apples (peeled, cored and sliced to about 1/8" thick
• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 T butter, melted
• pinch of salt
• warmed apricot jam - optional

(to prepare:)

• 1 T flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 T turbinado sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON APPLE CRANBERRY TART:

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Prepare your pastry (instructions HERE). Roll out dough to about 12" then place on your baking pan and place in refrigerator until needed.

3. Add your apples, cranberries, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, butter and salt to large saucepan and cook on medium. Cook until apples are starting to soften, about 5 to 8 minutes.

4. Remove from heat. With a slotted spoon, remove apples and cranberries from pan. Allow your remaining liquid to cool (it will thicken slightly as it cools.

5. While liquid is cooling, pull your pastry crust out of the oven and roll it out about 2 more inches. Take your 1 T flour and sprinkle it over the rolled out pastry. Place your filling in center, leaving about 2-3 inches on the edges clean. Drizzle your cooled liquid over filling. Fold the excess pastry up over filling, pinching/pressing down as you go around.

6.  With a pastry brush, rub the egg over the crust edge, then sprinkle with your turbinado sugar and cinnamon.

7. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Serve warm.

PRO TIP -- drizzle a little warmed apricot jam over top 🤤🤤🤤
