As soon as I saw cranberries in my grocery store I grab two bags! I LOVE using fresh cranberries in recipes and I am so happy they are in season right now!

HOW TO MAKE THE RECIPE:

Confession time. These started out as palmiers. After making them once I decided I didn’t really like how they looked, so I changed it up a little and that is how these cranberry apple walnut tarts came about!

Now making them will take a few steps but it is so worth it in the end.

• One thing you have to do is score the edges. What does that even mean? Basically you want to cut a little line about a ½ inch from the edge. This way when the pastry cooks it will separate just a little from the edge. This helps when wanting to make a well in the center of the pastry.
• When you are done cooking the puff pastry then you need to recut the line and remove the tops. You now have a little center or hole in your pastry where your filling will go.

TO MAKE THE FILLING:

The filling is simply amazing! I was eating it with a spoon because it was so good!

I used cortland apples that I bought from the store.

They were local and freshly picked. They are also super white inside, which kind of freaked out my kids. It had been a long time since we saw these type of apples. You can definitely use any variety you want but these worked well.
