Cranberry Apple Tart
Ingredients
- 1 ball prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
- 8 Tbs. butter (1 stick)
- 2 Tbs. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. cardamom
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/2 C. packed brown sugar
- 8 med. tart apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 1/2 C. dried cranberries
Directions
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. On a lightly floured counter, divide the dough in two. Using a rolling pin to roll out each piece of dough into a 10-inch circle that is about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the crusts to the prepared baking sheet (you may need to use 2 sheets). Set aside. Place the butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until melted. Mix in the cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and brown sugar. Use a pastry brush to coat both crusts with some of the butter mixture; reserve the remaining butter. Arrange half of the apple slices over each crust, then brush the apples with the remaining butter. Sprinkle half of the cranberries over each tart. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the apples are tender. Let cool before serving.
