Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a 9-inch pie pan or 8-inch square pan.
- Layer peeled and sliced apples in the pan.
- Alternate cranberries with the apple slices.
- Combine chopped nuts, cinnamon, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar, then sprinkle over the layered fruit.
- In a bowl, mix brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, vanilla, melted butter, and flour until well combined.

Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the tart's flavor, consider using a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. If you don't have cranberries, you can substitute with raisins or chopped dried cherries. For a nuttier flavor, try using pecans instead of mixed nuts. Always taste your filling before baking to adjust sweetness if necessary.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. This tart pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. It also makes a great brunch option alongside American recipes like Holly'S Finger-Lickin-Good Biscuits.
