Method

Step 1

In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook apples, sugar and cinnamon, stirring for about 8 minutes or until softened but still firm. Stir in flour and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Stir in cranberries and set aside.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Unroll pastry sheets and cut out eight 4-inch (10 cm) circles. Reserve any remaining pastry for another use. Place on prepared pan. Top each with some of the apple mixture.

Step 4

Crumble: In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar and butter until crumbly and sprinkle over top of fruit. Bake for about 15 minutes or until pastry is golden. Let cool slightly.

Step 5

Maple Whipped Cream: In a bowl, beat together whipping cream and maple syrup until stiff peaks form. Spoon generous dollops onto tarts to serve.

Tip

- Use apples like honey crisp, golden delicious or northern spy for a balance of flavour and texture.

- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon over the Maple Whipped cream when serving for a wonderful enhanced flavour.

- You should have about 4 cups (1 L) of sliced apples. Substitute pears or a combination of both to change it up.
