Patricia Kiewiet - LaGrange, Illinois
Bake-Off® Contest 36, 1994 Prize Winner
As a young child, Patricia Kiewiet created an unappreciated "apple" pie using sliced potatoes. Her prize-winning apricot-walnut tart obviously was much more successful. It's deliciously rich, so serve small pieces with whipped cream.
1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crust (1 crust)
FILLING
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
GLAZE
1 ounce semisweet chocolate chips, melted
GARNISH, IF DESIRED
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Heat oven to 450°F. Prepare pie crust according to package directions for ONE-CRUST FILLED PIE using 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom or 9-inch pie pan. Place crust in pan; press in bottom and up sides of pan. Trim edges if necessary. DO NOT PRICK CRUST. Bake at 450°F. for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. If crust puffs up during baking, gently press crust down with back of wooden spoon.
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. In large bowl, combine brown sugar, preserves, butter and eggs; blend well. Stir in walnuts. Pour into baked crust.
Bake at 350°F. for 25 to 35 minutes or until filling is light golden brown and set. Cool 10 minutes. Place melted chocolate in small resealable plastic freezer bag. Snip off 1 corner of bag to make very small hole; drizzle chocolate over warm tart. Cool completely.
In small bowl, combine whipping cream and powdered sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Serve tart with whipped cream. Store in refrigerator.
