Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
⅓ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp ice water
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 tbsplemon juice
1 tspvanilla extract
1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water for egg wash
Instructions:
1. Make the crust
In a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, and salt until combined.
Add in the cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water. Slowly pour it into the food processor while pulsing, until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling
In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Let cool.
3. Assemble the tart
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and spread the cranberry filling in the center, leaving a 2-inch border around the edge.
Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, creating a rustic border.
Brush the edges of the tart with the egg wash.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Let cool before serving.
