Servings: persons

1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
2 tablespoons beaten egg
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries
1-1/2 cups chopped dried apples
1-1/2 cups unsweetened apple juice
1-1/4 cups sugar
Sugar substitute equivalent to 1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup cold water

1
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Beat in the egg, butter, sugar and orange zest. Combine flour and salt; beat into yeast mixture on low speed just until mixture holds together.
2
Shape into a ball. Place in a small bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1/4 hours (dough will not double, but will leave a slight indentation when pressed).
3
Coat an 11-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom with cooking spray; set aside. Place dough on a piece of waxed paper. Lightly flour dough and roll into a 13-in. circle. Invert into prepared pan; gently peel off waxed paper.
4
Line unpricked tart shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 375u00b0 for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 6 minutes longer or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
5
In a large saucepan, combine the first seven filling ingredients. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil and cranberries pop. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; gradually stir into cranberry mixture. Cook 2 minutes longer or until thickened. Cool for 20 minutes. Pour into crust. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
