This was a huge hit at a luncheon with friends! I did make some changes, because it was for a Holiday luncheon, I made it into a Cranberry Apple Tart, turned out delicious!!Served it cold with whipped cream topping. Instead of cinnamon in the filling I used ground ginger and sprinkled a mix of splenda/ground ginger on top. A wonderful tart enjoyed by all!! Thanks for post and I will be making it again.

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
