Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 4 apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thinly)
• 1.5 cups fresh cranberries
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.75 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and set aside.

Step 2

To make the tart crust, mix 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Add 1 cup of cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add 3 tablespoons of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the tart pan, then transfer it to the pan. Trim any excess dough and press the edges evenly into the pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, cranberries, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until well coated.

Step 6

To make the crumb topping, combine the rolled oats, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.

Step 7

Pour the apple-cranberry mixture into the pre-baked crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the fruit filling.

Step 8

Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Let the tart cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
