INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Make pastry dough:  In a bowl stir together flour, sugar, salt, and
cinnamon. With a  pastry blender or fingertips blend in butter,
blending until mixture  resembles coarse meal. Add cold water to
mixture, 1 tablespoon at a  time, tossing to incorporate until mixture
forms a dough. On a work  surface smear dough in several forward
motions with heel of hand to  develop gluten in flour and make dough
easier to work with. Scrape  dough together and pat into an 8- by
6-inch rectangle. Chill dough,  wrapped in plastic wrap, 30 minutes.
Reserve 1 apple for making stars. Peel, quarter, and core remaining 4
apples and cut lengthwise into scant-1/4-inch slices.  For stars, stand
reserved apple on its stem end and starting from the  outside, cut
scant-1/4-inch vertical slices, rotating apple to cut  more slices as
you reach the core. With a 1 1/4-inch star-shaped  cutter, cut out as
many whole stars as possible from slices and then  cut partial stars
from scraps.  In a food processor pulse fresh or frozen cranberries
with 3/4 cup  sugar until chopped fine.  Preheat oven to 400F.  On a
lightly floured surface roll dough into 1 17-by 14-inch  rectangle and
transfer to a large baking sheet. Hand-roll the edges 1  inch toward
center to make a raised border and spread cranberry  mixture inside.
Arrange apple slices lengthwise, overlapping them, in  close horizontal
rows (apples will shrink slightly during baking) to  resemble stripes
on an American flag, leaving a space in the  upper-left corner for
stars. Arrange partial stars in corner and top  with whole stars. Brush
pastry edge with water and sprinkle remaining  1/4 cup sugar over
entire tart.  Bake tart 50 minutes, or until apples are tender and
pastry is golden  brown. Cool tart on baking sheet on a rack.  Make
glaze:  In a small saucepan melt jellies over moderate heat, stirring
frequently until smooth.  Brush hot glaze over warm tart. Serve tart
warm or at room  temperature.  Gourmet October 1994  Converted by
