Apple Cranberry Tart

This a favorite recipe my mom made & I got a copy of it to make (more than once) myself! It is also, according to their website, a Stonewall Kitchen favorite. Apple Cranberry Chutney can be purchased locally at Russo's.

I use store bought pie crust dough but you can make your own.

Crust:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, frozen, cut into 8 pieces each
• 8-10 tablespoons ice water

Filling:

• 3 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup golden raisins (mom omits; I used "baking raisins" instead)
  
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 jar Stonewall Kitchen Apple Cranberry Chutney
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch of cloves and nutmeg

Glaze:

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon cream or milk

directions

Crust:

1. Blend flour, sugar, and salt in food processor. Add butter pieces and pulse until butter is in 1/4" pieces.
2. Add 7 tablespoons of ice water and blend until moist clumps are formed, adding more water by the tablespoon until dough just starts to form into a ball.
3. Remove from processor and carefully gather into a ball on a clean and lightly floured surface.
4. Divide ball of dough into 2 portions. Flatten into discs. Wrap one in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
5. Roll out remaining disc on a lightly floured surface and place into a 10" quiche pan. Refrigerate.

Filling:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Combine chopped apples and all remaining filling ingredients until well mixed.
3. Spoon into prepared shell, spreading evenly.
   
4. Roll out second crust disc.
5. Cut into 1"-wide strips for lattice topping.
6. Using a long, narrow spatula, carefully lift strips onto pie, using 5-6 strips.
7. Rotate pie 45°. Carefully place 5-6 more strips on top.

Glaze:
1. Combine egg yolk and cream/milk in a small dish. Stir with fork until well blended.
2. Brush entire crust, top and edges, with egg wash.
3. Bake pie in lower 1/3 of over for about 1 hour until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.
   

Oops! I had already placed the lattice topping when I realized I forgot to add the jar of chutney! That's why it has an overflowing stuffed look.
