RUSTIC CRANBERRY-WALNUT APPLE TART

Steps:

• For pastry: Mix the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. With processor running add enough ice water to to gather into a ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour. On a floured surface and with a floured rolling pin, roll pastry into a 12 or 13-inch round. Don't trim ragged edges. Turn a large baking sheet upside down, mist lightly with cooking spray and place pastry on it. Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in the middle position. Combine Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples and heap onto a pastry into a 9-inch circle. In a bowl, combine brown sugar, walnuts, cranberries and melted butter. Mix well and spread mixture evenly on top of the apples. Bring outer edges of pastry up and over to partially cover filling, pleating pastry as necessary to maintain a rough round circle. Bake 40 to 50 minutes until apples are tender and topping is crisp and bubbling. Cool tart on a rack until warm. Cut into wedges and top with vanilla ice cream.

APPLE WALNUT TART

Steps:

• Prebake tart shell and brush warm shell with apricot preserves. (SQ note - Baking time was not included in this recipe but listening to reviewers leads me to think that 15 minutes at 350F should be about right.).
• Peel, core and slice apples.
• Sprinkle with lemon juice.
• Arrange apple slices in tart shell.
• Scatter walnuts on top of fruit.
• Combine sugar, flour and cinnamon in small bowl.
• Add butter and work with fingers to form a crumb topping.
• Sprinkle over tart.
• Bake at 400 for about 40 minutes or until top is golden brown.

APPLE-AND-BLACK-WALNUT-FRANGIPANI TART

Steps:

• To make the dough, put the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the egg and pulse until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. (Add water a teaspoon at a time if the dough seems too dry.) Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and ease it into a 10-inch tart pan. Trim the edges. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spread the chilled crust with the frangipani. Peel, halve, core and thinly slice the apples. Fan the apples over the frangipani. Combine the sugar and the cinnamon in a small cup, mix well and sprinkle over the apples. Bake until the crust is browned and the apples are soft, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
• Remove the tart from the pan. Warm the apple jelly in a small saucepan over low heat until it is just melted. Brush the hot jelly over the surface of the tart. Brush the crust with jelly and dust the crust with ground walnuts. Dust the crust again with powdered sugar. Slice and serve.

BRUSSELS SPROUT AND APPLE TART WITH WALNUT PESTO

• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the Brussels sprouts and apple slices; cook about 10 minutes more, or until apples and sprouts are beginning to brown. Stir in the maple syrup and thyme, then remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place the puff pastry on baking sheets lined with Silpats or parchment paper; roll the pastry out to about 9×12 inches. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Gently press down the center of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch margin on all sides. Sprinkle the pesto onto the crust, then top with half the cheese, the sprouts and apples, then the remaining cheese. (You might have some of the sprout mixture leftover.) Return to the oven for 5 more minutes to melt the cheese, then top with the cranberries. Cut each tart into 6 pieces and serve.
