π Recipe Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (163Β°C). |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and butter. Mix until light and fluffy. |
| 3 | Add the egg and flour to the sugar and butter mixture. Combine thoroughly until you have a smooth batter. |
| 4 | Press the batter into an 11-12 inch tart pan, ensuring an even layer across the base and up the sides. |
| 5 | Bake the tart crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned, approximately 20 minutes. |
| 6 | While the crust is baking, toast the pecans at 350Β°F (177Β°C) for about 20 minutes, shaking halfway through to ensure even toasting. |
| 7 | In a large mixing bowl, combine all the filling ingredients except for the pecans and cranberries. Mix until well incorporated. |
| 8 | Gently fold in the toasted pecans and cranberries into the filling mixture until evenly distributed. |
| 9 | Once the tart crust is lightly browned, remove it from the oven and pour the prepared filling into the crust. |
| 10 | Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. |
| 11 | Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving. |
This Cranberry Pecan Tart is a harmonious blend of sweet and tart flavors, complemented by the buttery richness of the crust.
