Instructions

Make the Pastry

Place the pastry ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth and a dough appears.
Remove the dough and shape into a ball. Cover with parchment paper and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.

Make the Filling

In a small saucepan, add the water, cranberries, brown sweetener and cinnamon. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the cranberries are soft.
Add the xanthan gum, stir well and cook for a further minute. You want to see the sauce thicken slightly (it will thicken more once cool).
Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and set aside to cool.
Stir in the chopped walnuts.

Assemble

Preheat the oven to 190C/375F degrees.
Remove the pastry from the fridge and roll into 20 balls
Place them in a mini muffin tin (you will need to do 2 batches as most mini muffin tins have 16 spaces)
Press the pastry balls into the muffin tin making sure that there is a large “well” in the middle and spread the edges out.
Spoon in the cranberry walnut filling.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tart edges are golden.
Set aside to cool before removing from the tin.

Makes 20 mini tartlets. You could make 16 to fit a mini muffin tin with a thicker crust.
