When the tart's done, heat the apricot jelly together with the Calvados and brush the apples and the pastry completely with the jelly mixture. If the pastry puffs up in one area, cut a little slit with a knife to let the air out. (I tend not to use the apple ends in order to make the arrangement beautiful.) Sprinkle with the full 1/2 cup of sugar and dot with the butter.īake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the pastry is browned and the edges of the apples start to brown. Place overlapping slices of apples diagonally down the middle of the tart and continue making diagonal rows on both sides of the first row until the pastry is covered with apple slices. Slice the apples crosswise in 1/4-inch thick slices. Remove the stems and cores with a sharp knife and a melon baller. Peel the apples and cut them in half through the stem. Place the dough on the prepared sheet pan and refrigerate while you prepare the apples. Using a ruler and a small knife, trim the edges. Roll the dough slightly larger than 10 by 14-inches. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Dump onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball. With the motor running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse just until the dough starts to come together. Add the butter and pulse 10 to 12 times, until the butter is in small bits the size of peas. Keeps for 3-4 days covered at room temperature.īonus! Some of you have been asking what I played at The Hideout.For the pastry, place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool before removing from the pan. Arrange the cranberries on top of the batter in a single layer, and sprinkle the top with the remaining two tablespoons of sugar.īake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden-brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Add the flour mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix in the eggs one at a time, then the almond extract. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy- 1 to 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (I used a heaping cup).1 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for topping.1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature.You can make it for a casual dessert and then eat leftovers for breakfast, or with tea.Ĭranberry Totre (recipe from Wintersweet by Tammy Donroe Inman) The cake is simple and delicious and keeps well for a few days. I’ve also been in a bit of a cooking rut and returning to old favorites seemed like a comforting thing to do. I started with this torte because it was simple and I excited to buy my first bags of fresh cranberries for the season. ![]() It is a very good idea for a book, and many of the recipes I have bookmarked for the upcoming winter. The book is a collection of cold-weather desserts using seasonal (cranberries, citrus, pomegranate) and seasonless (maple, honey, nuts) ingredients. This cranberry torte comes from a book called Wintersweet by Tammy Donroe Inman. It is a good time to celebrate with something that is very familiar around here, a fruit-studded cake. This kind of thing means a lot more when you are friends with a baby. I am also happy to know that I live in a state that has prioritized this issue and made progress in supporting equal rights. I am glad to have supported the cause, and I very much like the fact that Gabe’s first political act lead to success. My marriage (performed in the great state of Massachusetts!), will finally be recognized in my home state. On Tuesday Illinois became the 15th state to approve extending marriage benefits to same-sex couples. He proved to be a great sidekick, though to be honest he fell asleep pretty early. I thought he might be into DJing because he definitely likes music, and I was right. I consider him one of my best friends, though he has had very little say in the matter and doesn’t even know what a friends is…or a best is. Babies are some of the coolest people in the world, and it has been a real pleasure getting to know this little man who is about to turn seven months old. ![]() One of the best things that happened to me in 2013 was the birth of my best friends’ baby, Gabe. I’d been nervous about the DJ gig, so I brought my friend Gabe with me. It was a fun night (see playlist below!) full of cool people, and we raised an impressive amount of money. A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to be DJing at the Hideout at an event to support the campaign for marriage equality in Illinois.
