Recipe
Preheat oven to 450. Need a 10" tart pan with a removable bottom.
Roll the pastry out on a floured surface to a 12" circle.
Place the floured side down, into the tart pan.
Press the pastry crust up the sides. Trim and remove any excess pastry.
Prick the bottom and sides with a fork.
Then line with a double thickness of foil and bake for 8 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for 5 - 6 minutes more or until golden.
Let cool on a wire rack.
Beat together the cream cheese, 3 tbsp. of the apple juice, vanilla, 1/4
tsp. of the cinnamon and 1 tsp. of the sugar substitute.
Fold in 1/4 c. of the nuts, if using and spread evenly on the cooled crust.
Set aside.
In a large frying pan, combine the apples, 1 c. of the apple juice, raisins
and 1/4 tsp. of the cinnamon.
Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer.
Let simmer for 2 - 4 minutes or until the apples are just tender.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the apples and raisins to a small bowl and set
aside.
Mix 2 tbsp. of the apple juice, cornstarch and 3/4 tsp. of the sugar
substitute together, making sure there are no lumps.
Add to the frying pan and cook until thickened and bubbly, stirring

Continue cooking and stirring for 2 more minutes.

layer.
