# What You Need:

→ Crust and Topping

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
02 - 1 cup powdered sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 2 cups all-purpose flour

→ Filling and Garnish

06 - 1/3 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
07 - 1/8 cup powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
08 - Cranberry jam or filling, as needed

# How to Make It:

01 - Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom using cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 - In the bowl of a stand mixer, blend unsalted butter and powdered sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and airy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and salt, mixing to combine. Scrape bowl sides and bottom as needed.
03 - Add all-purpose flour to the creamed mixture. Mix on low speed, then increase to medium until well combined and large crumbs appear. Avoid overworking the dough.
04 - Divide dough in two. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Press remaining dough evenly into the base and sides of the prepared tart pan. Optionally, cover with parchment paper and add pie weights. Bake on a baking sheet for 15 minutes. Allow crust to cool 5–10 minutes after removing from oven.
05 - Spread a thin layer of cranberry jam on cooled crust. Remove reserved dough from refrigerator and crumble half evenly over the jam. Distribute half of the walnut pieces over the top. Repeat with remaining dough and walnuts for a layered effect.
06 - Return assembled tart to oven and bake 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack until room temperature.
07 - Gently remove tart from pan. Touch up surface with remaining cranberry mixture to fill any creases or gaps. Dust tart with powdered sugar before serving. Accompany with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Chill a portion of dough to ensure crumble topping maintains definition while baking.
