Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 egg white, beaten
• 1 (9 inch) prepared pie crust
• cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, or to taste
• 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup dried cranberries

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place cranberries in a small bowl. Cover with boiling water. Let soak until plump, about 15 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.

Step 3

Cut a deep vertical slice into both sides of each apple, being sure not to cut through to the core. Attach 1 apple to a spiralizer fitted with the straight-flat blade and cut into thin half-slices. Repeat with second apple.

Step 4

Combine cranberries, apple slices, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl; toss to coat.

Step 5

Mix white sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Stir into the apple mixture.

Step 6

Roll pie crust out into a 10-inch round on a floured work surface. Transfer to the baking sheet.

Step 7

Spoon apple mixture into the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Lift up edges of crust and fold around apple mixture. Brush edges with egg white. Sprinkle turbinado sugar all over tart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and crust is golden brown, 38 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and slice.
