Receta Raw Cranberry Apple Tart
The Apple Tart I prepared last week, was the best tasting raw apple pie I've had to date, however, I wanted to tweak the recipe and make it really special for Thanksgiving. This Cranberry Apple Tart is absolutely delicious! Even your non-raw family and friends will love it.
The color of this dessert is vibrant and alive thanks to the beautiful fresh cranberries! Due to the cranberry tartness, it does require quite a bit more sweetener, so keep that in mind - but it is, after all, a HOLIDAY treat! Check out this Rawfully Tempting dessert..
