Once fall rolls around here in the great state of New Jersey, there are a few things that I look forward to. Pumpkin and apple season on our farm is definitely my favorite time of year. Another thing I love about fall in New Jersey is the local cranberry harvest.

Just 12 short miles from our farm, nestled in the Pine Barrens of Chatsworth, are some of the largest, oldest and most prolific cranberry bogs in the United States. Yes, it’s cranberry heaven. The cranberry harvest is in full swing and these Apple Cranberry Tarts are the perfect way to enjoy their bounty.

Cranberries will keep in the refrigerator for at least one month and sometimes longer. I like to use Rubbermaid® FreshWorks^TMcontainers to store my fruits and vegetables. Cranberries store perfectly in them. FreshWorks is a food storage container that uses patented FreshVent technology to keep produce fresher up to 80% longer* than traditional produce packaging.

These containers use a revolutionary built-in FreshVent lid, which naturally regulates the flow of oxygen and CO2, in and out of the container to create the optimal environment so produce stays nearly as fresh as the day it was picked. The CrispTray at the bottom elevates produce away from moisture and promotes proper airflow to help reduce spoilage.

How Do I Make Mini Cranberry Apple Pies?

Sweet apples and tart cranberries are the perfect duo. I picked these apples just for this recipe. These Apple Cranberry Tarts are really simple to make. You can easily make them and serve as a Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert.

I took a shortcut in making these tarts by using store-bought pie crust. If you want to make your own pie crust, you have to try my Perfect Pie Crust Recipe. Measure the size of your tart dish and cut out a circle a little larger so you can fold over the apples. They have a rustic look so no need to worry about perfecting the perfect crust.

Bake these Apple Cranberry Tarts until golden brown. This recipe has the perfect blend of sweetness mixed in with the tart cranberries. I like to serve them with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream.
