Personally I get a little apple crazy this time of year, whether it’s buying them from the Farmers Market or apple picking. I have bowls of apples everywhere and sometimes need to use them up (so I can buy more of course!). This is one of my favorite ways to use them…it’s like a Caramel Apple in a pie crust. Other than peeling and slicing the apples it’s not hard to throw together!
With this Caramel Apple Tart, traditional apple pie takes a twist that will take you back to your childhood. Tart, juicy apple paired with sweet, gooey caramel – walnuts and cranberries add a grown-up touch.
