Ingredients:
  • 75g chilled unsalted butter
  • 1 granny smith apple, unpeeled, cored, finely chopped
  • 75g brown sugar
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Caster sugar, for dusting
  • 400g sultanas
  • 300g pitted prunes, finely chopped
  • 225g fresh dates, pitted, finely chopped
  • 100g pecans, finely chopped
  • 100g glace orange peel, finely chopped
  • 150g dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 200ml nut-flavoured liqueur (see note)
  • Finely grated rind of 1 orange
  • 225g plain flour
  • 150g self-raising flour
  • 35g cornflour
  • 40g icing sugar
  • 250g chilled unsalted butter, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • In a food processor, combine flours, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Pour in 1/4 cup of ice-cold water and pulse until the dough is almost formed. Split the dough in half, wrap each portion in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • In a bowl, layer half of the fruit mixture and grate the butter over the top. Mix in the apple and brown sugar until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to make the tarts or for up to one month. Store the rest of the fruit mixture in the refrigerator for later use.
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. 2. Roll out the pastry halves between floured baking paper until 3mm thick. 3. Cut rounds using a 7cm fluted pastry cutter and press them into 2, 12-hole (5.5cm diameter) tart tins. 4. Fill each tart case with 1 tablespoon of filling. 5. Cut shapes with a star-shaped biscuit cutter from the scraps and place them over the tarts. 6. Brush the stars with beaten egg and sprinkle with caster sugar. 7. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. 8. Allow the tarts to sit in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool. 9. Store the tarts in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
