Sarasota's Simple Pear and Apple Tart

  1. Crust -- Let the crust come to room temp or at least take the chill off.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or you can use a baking pad, but parchment is so easy, just too when done and no clean up.
  3. Also heat your oven to 425 degrees.
  4. I like to sprinkle just a pinch of flour on the pie crust (bottom side) before I put it on the parchment.
  5. Then press out the fold lines.
  6. Filling -- In a medium bowl, add the pears, apples, cranberries, sugar, flour, nutmeg, salt and cinnimon.
  7. Mix well.
  8. Pie -- Put all the filling directly in the center of the pie crust.
  9. Leave a couple of inches around the edge.
  10. Topping -- Mix the flour, brown sugar butter and put over the filling.
  11. Finish the pie -- Fold over the edges to make a rustic tart and leave a 5 or 6" center open with the filling and topping.
  12. Brush with the milk and sprinkle with the white sugar so it makes a nice shiny crispy crust.
  13. Bake -- 425 for 10 minutes and then reduce to 350 and add the almonds and cook 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
  14. (If you add the nuts when you first start baking they can get too brown, so I wait until I reduce the heat).
  15. Cool before slicing.
