Creepy Shrunken VooDoo Heads Halloween Tart: Apple Cranberry Walnut Tart Recipe
This Shrunken Heads Halloween Apple Cranberry Walnut Tart is the perfect ghoulish dessert to serve at a Halloween dinner party. It’s creepy without being grossI’ve actually wanted to try making a shrunken apple head tart or pie last Halloween, but never got around to it. The idea seemed like it would work. I’d made shrunken apple head dolls with my mother as a child, so I knew that it took no amazing carving skill to make the shrunken head faces.
As the apples shrivel clumsy features become more realistic. I concluded that if the apples were cored and halved, then only dehydrated about half as much as the dolls were the texture would be slightly chewy but still moist. Drying would be done in a low heat oven and nuts and dried berries would be a great compliment to the texture of the apples. Akin to a sort of rustic mincemeat. I kept things quite simple, just dried cranberries with walnut bits mixed with honey and a little orange juice to accompany the shrunken heads..
