01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 415°F (210°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the pie crust out on the prepared sheet. In a bowl, mix together the walnuts, brown sugar, one egg, butter, and vanilla until well combined. Spread most of this walnut mixture over the crust, leaving about an inch around the edges clear. Save a couple of tablespoons of the filling for later.

Step 2
Next, arrange the apple slices in a pretty circle on top of the walnut layer, then sprinkle the cranberries over the apples. Dot the reserved walnut filling over the fruit in little spoonfuls. Fold the edges of the crust up and over the filling, overlapping as needed to create a rustic, free-form circle.

Step 3
Whisk together the remaining egg with a splash of water to make an egg wash, then brush it over the crust edges. Sprinkle some Demerara sugar on top for a nice crunch and sparkle. Pop the tart in the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the apples are bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Step 4
Once baked, let the tart cool on the baking sheet set on a rack for half an hour. Then, carefully lift it using the parchment paper and transfer it directly onto the rack to cool completely for about an hour. Before serving, gently slide a large knife or angled spatula under the tart to loosen it from the parchment, then move it to your serving plate. Enjoy!
