| Chef's Note | A recipe from Chef Réjean Chevarie, Restaurant Le Clair de Lune |
| Ingredients | - Sweet pastry crust for 1 large tart
- 300 g (10 oz.) diced apple
- 20 g (4 tsp.) butter
- 150 g (5 oz.) sugar
- 20 g (2 1/2 tbsp.) cornstarch
- 35 ml (2 tbsp.) water
- 75 g (2 1/2 oz.) cranberries, red currants or blueberries
- Cinnamon to taste
- 25 g (1 oz.) almond paste
- 4 apples, peeled and cut into thin strips

| Method |
- Melt the butter and sauté the diced apple; add the sugar and cook 2 minutes. Combine the cornstarch with the cold water and add to the apple mixture to thicken, stir for 30 seconds over the heat and then remove. Add the berries.
- Spread the almond paste into the bottom of the tart shell; place the apple and berry mixture on top.
- Place all of the julienned apple over the top of the tart, being careful not to exceed the edges of the pastry.
- Bake in a 190° C (375° F) oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until the centre of the tart is done.
