2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup butter, chilled
½ cup cream cheese
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
4 apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
⅔ cup fresh cranberries
¼ cup brown sugar, or more to taste
¼ cup white sugar, or more to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅓ cup roughly chopped walnuts, or more to taste
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon raw sugar

Steps:

  • Place 2 cups flour in a bowl. Cut butter and cream cheese into flour using a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently mix water into flour mixture until dough forms into a ball.
  • Mix apples and cranberries with brown sugar, white sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until coated.

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 cup golden raisins
1 cup Mulled Wine, recipe follows
1 cup all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds Bosc pears, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup almond paste
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of kosher salt
Juice of 1 orange
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
12 whole cloves
10 peppercorns, cracked
4 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise buds
2 bottles dry, fruity red wine, such as Shiraz or Malbec
1/2 cup honey
2 lemons, zest removed with a peeler and juiced
2 lemons, zest removed with a peeler and juiced
2 oranges, zest removed with a peeler and juiced
2 oranges, zest removed with a peeler and juiced
1/2 cup brandy

Steps:

  • For the raisins: In a small bowl, soak the raisins in the Mulled Wine for 1 hour.
  • For the dough: In a large bowl, add the all-purpose flour, butter, sugar and salt. Using a pastry cutter, mix the ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use just enough cold water, about 2 tablespoons, to bring the mixture together. Form a disk with the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a clean surface, roll the dough to a large circle roughly 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
  • For the tart: Spread the pears in the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border on the outside. Remove the raisins from the wine and put on top of the pears.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, almond paste, butter, cinnamon, salt and orange juice. Sprinkle the mixture over the pears and raisins. Fold over the edges of the dough to encircle the pears. Bake until the pears are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
  • Begin by placing the cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon and star anise into a large piece of cheesecloth. Make a pouch and tie it with kitchen twine.
  • In a large nonreactive pot over medium heat, add the wine, honey, lemon zest and juice, orange zest and juice and the cheesecloth of spices and bring to a simmer (be sure not to bring to a boil). Simmer for 30 minutes, and then add the brandy.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup butter, chilled
½ cup cream cheese
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 pear - peeled, cored and sliced
¼ cup orange juice
⅓ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup apricot jam, warmed

Steps:

  • Cut the cold butter and cream cheese into the flour with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (This can also be done in a food processor: pulse the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles cornmeal; add the cream cheese and pulse until it's the size of small peas.) When you squeeze a handful of the mixture, it should form a ball. Shape the dough into a round disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Toss the sliced apples and pear with the orange juice. Whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and cornstarch. Toss the fruit with the sugar-spice mixture and set aside.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Set out an 8-inch tart pan, or, if you'll be making a free-form tart (galette), lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured work surface to form a 10-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the tart pan or baking sheet. Arrange the fruit decoratively in the tart pastry. If you're baking the tart on a baking sheet, leave a 2-inch rim of dough and fold it up over the edge of the fruit (the pastry folds will overlap).
  • Bake the tart in the preheated oven until the crust is browned and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and brush it with the apricot jam.
