This is a recipe that you can adjust to suit your taste buds. When we have Mock Cherry Pie which is a combination of cranberries and raisins it is less sweet than this. I played with this first try to make the cranberry and apple combination; and I had dates and wanted to use honey instead of granulated sugar. Then I thought...

Number Of Ingredients 10

FILLING FOR ONE TART COOKED ON STOVETOP
1 & 1/2 c whole fresh cranberries, rinsed.
1/4 c honey
1/2 c water.
2 medium apples, pared, cored and diced. one sweet apple and one granny smith apple.
1/2 c dates, chopped
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground ginger
PASTRY TART RECIPE: ARROWHEAD MILLS ORGANIC PASTRY FLOUR
A STORE-BOUGHT PIE SHELL COULD BE SUBSTITUTED.

Steps:

  • 1. Prior to making the filling the pastry tart can be prepared and blind baked. I did that using parchment paper and pie weights to keep the crust from puffing up. I used a tart baking dish and the recipe from Arrowhead Mills Organic Pastry Flour.
  • 2. Place the cranberries and about 1/2 cup water and honey in a small pot, over medium heat, and cook while stirring until berries pop. Lower the heat if it boils fast, and simmer about five or six minutes stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.
  • 3. Add chopped apples and chopped dates and cook until softened, another five or ten minutes. It should thicken as it cooks and will as it cools too.
  • 4. Stir in the vanilla and powdered ginger. Let cool for a while, and fill the baked tart and spread evenly, then cover with parchment paper and chill for about an hour, or overnight. We loved it served with real whipped cream!
