|
To make Apple and Cranberry Gem Tarts you will need
Ingredients
| 1 2/3 | cups | Whole wheat pastry flour | | 2 | tablespoons | Date sugar | | 4 | tablespoons | Unsalted butter -- chilled | | 3 | tablespoons | Safflower oil | | 1 | | Egg white | | 1 | tablespoon | Apple cider vinegar | | 3 1/2 | tablespoons | Ice water | | 3/4 | cups | Cranberries | | 2 | cups | Sliced green apples | | 1/4 | cups | Apple juice or apple brandy | | 1/4 | cups | Dried currants or raisins | | 1 | cup | Maple syrup | | 2 | tablespoons | Arrowroot powder | | 1 | tablespoon | Lemon juice | | 1/2 | teaspoons | Cinnamon | | 1 | tablespoon | Lemon rind -- grated | | 1/2 | cups | Ground almonds or walnuts |
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and
date sugar. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and grate in butter
and stir in oil. With fingers or a pastry mixer, combine butter and flour
mixture until it is the texture of cornmeal. Do not overmix or butter will
melt. Add egg white, vinegar, and enough of the ice water to form 8 small
balls of dough. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
2. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine cranberries, apples, apple
juice, currants, and maple syrup. Cook, uncovered, until berries pop. In a
small bowl combine arrowroot with lemon juice and add to cranberries along
with cinnamon and lemon rind. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture
thickens. Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes.
3. Lightly flour a counter or breadboard. Roll each ball of dough into a
6-inch circle and press into a 4-inch tart pan (preferably one with fluted
edges). Fill two thirds full with cranberry filling and sprinkle with
ground almonds. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool before serving.
Makes 8 tarts.
