Sarasota's Simple Pear and Apple Tart
- 1 pillsbury refrigerated pie crust
- 2 cups pears (thin sliced and peeled)
- 2 cups apples (thin sliced and peeled, I like Gala or Granny Smith)
- 34 cup fresh cranberries
- 13 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 14 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 14 cup all-purpose flour
- 14 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Crust -- Let the crust come to room temp or at least take the chill off.
- 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.
- Also heat your oven to 425 degrees.
- I like to sprinkle just a pinch of flour on the pie crust (bottom side) before I put it on the parchment.
- Then press out the fold lines.
- Filling -- In a medium bowl, add the pears, apples, cranberries, sugar, flour, nutmeg, salt and cinnimon.
- Mix well.
- Pie -- Put all the filling directly in the center of the pie crust.
- Leave a couple of inches around the edge.
- Topping -- Mix the flour, brown sugar butter and put over the filling.
- 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.
- Brush with the milk and sprinkle with the white sugar so it makes a nice shiny crispy crust.
- Bake -- 425 for 10 minutes and then reduce to 350 and add the almonds and cook 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
- (If you add the nuts when you first start baking they can get too brown, so I wait until I reduce the heat).
- Cool before slicing.
