Delight your friends and family with this striking dessert. Dramatic to the eye and palate, this rustic tart features a light and flaky phyllo dough crust. Apples and dried cherries make a wonderful tender and warming filling with eye-catching colors. Soaking the cherries in orange juice allows them to plump before they are baked, making the final product juicier. Cardamom and cinnamon play a central role in flavoring. Sweet and warming at the same time, these flavors marry well and delight the senses. Ready in just under an hour, this dessert is a wonderful treat during the holidays or served at a brunch buffet as a sweet dish.
Ingredients:
  • ⅓ cup dried cherries, chopped
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 3 small Granny Smith apples, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp ground cardamom
  • ⅛ tsp ground ginger
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough, 3.2 oz, defrosted
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • 8 sprays cooking spray

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine cherries and orange juice; microwave until heated through and cherries soften, 2 minutes. Pour cherry mixture into a medium bowl; stir in apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger.
  3. Place a sheet of phyllo on prepared pan, coat with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp sugar; repeat with remaining crust ingredients to form 8 layers.
  4. Spread apple filling in the center of a crust; roll phyllo edges up so they form a 1-inch border (use damp fingers to seal phyllo corners so they stay in place). Bake until apples are soft and phyllo is crispy and brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
  5. Serving size: 1 piece.

Notes
Use cooking shears or a pizza cutter to slice the tart .
