Rustic Apple Raspberry Tart

Layer apple mixture and top with raspberries evenly over phyllo crust. Lightly sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and top with walnuts. Bring up edges of phyllo to form a rim.

TRIVIA QUESTIONS |
| Why do raspberries have little hairs on them? |
|
They are the remnants of the pistils, the female portion of the flower. They may help protect the fruit from insect damage. On some varieties these little hairs are more noticeable than on others. - from NABA website |
| Got stains? How do you remove berry stains? |
|
Whirlpool's laundry guide recommends the following: Do not use a soap on fruit stains. Try soaking immediately in cool water. Cover with a oxygen-type bleach and hot water. Wait 15-30 minutes. Wash. For old stains, sponge with white vinegar & rinse. Then repeat above. You can also try a commercial stain remover. |
| How can you enjoy berries all year round? |
|
ENJOY a berry smile even in the Winter! Lay fresh berries on a cookie sheet until frozen solid. Put in a freezer bag or tight sealing container. Lightly rinse before enjoying! |
