APPLE CRANBERRY PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Whisk the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse cornmeal mixed with pea-sized bits of cold butter. (If the butter gets too soft, refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Use a fork to stir in the egg and water mixture until the dough just comes together. (If the dough is dry, add up to 1 tablespoon more cold water.) Divide the dough into two equal-sized disks, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
• For the filling: Peel, halve and core the apples. Cut each half into 4 wedges and place in a bowl with the lemon juice and cranberries, tossing to combine. Add the sugar and toss again to combine evenly.
• Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low, cooking until the apples soften and release most of their juices and the cranberries have burst, about 7 minutes.
• Strain the apple mixture into a colander set over the bowl, shaking it to collect as much of the juice as possible. Pour the liquid back into the skillet, add the cinnamon and ginger, and simmer over medium heat until thickened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Return the reduced juice and the apple mixture to the bowl and toss to recombine. Chill the filling until it cools completely, at least an hour and up to 2 days.
• To assemble the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll each disk into an 11- to 12-inch circle. Lay each dough circle between two pieces of parchment or wax paper on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
• Place a baking sheet on a rack positioned in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish with one of the dough discs and trim it to leave a 1/2-inch overhang on all sides. Stir the cornstarch into the filling and add it to the pan.
• Use a chef's knife, pizza cutter or fluted dough cutter to cut the second round into 1/2-inch thick strips. Lay strips of dough, evenly spaced, across the entire pie. Weave more strips of dough perpendicular through the previous strips to make a lattice or basket weave design across the entire pie. Trim the excess ends from the strips of dough. Pinch the bottom crust edge and lattice edge together, and flute the edge as desired. Brush the surface of the dough with egg and then sprinkle with sugar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Bake the pie on the preheated baking sheet until the crust is golden, 50 to 60 minutes. If the edges begin to brown too fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil. Let the pie cool 1 hour before serving. Once completely cooled, the pie keeps well at room temperature (covered) for 24 hours, or refrigerated for up to 4 days.

APPLE-CRANBERRY TART

Steps:

• Place cranberries in a small bowl. Cover with boiling water. Let soak until plump, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
• Cut a deep vertical slice into both sides of each apple, being sure not to cut through to the core. Attach 1 apple to a spiralizer fitted with the straight-flat blade and cut into thin half-slices. Repeat with second apple.
• Combine cranberries, apple slices, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl; toss to coat.
• Mix white sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Stir into the apple mixture.
• Roll pie crust out into a 10-inch round on a floured work surface. Transfer to the baking sheet.
• Spoon apple mixture into the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Lift up edges of crust and fold around apple mixture. Brush edges with egg white. Sprinkle turbinado sugar all over tart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and crust is golden brown, 38 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and slice.

CRANBERRY APPLE TART

Steps:

• Combine the pie crust mix and the cold cubed butter in a food processor. Pulse ten times for 1 second each time, shaking down the sides of the bowl as needed. (You can also combine the mix and the butter in a large mixing bowl using this method and cut the butter in gently using a pastry cutter.)
• Transfer the buttery crumbs to a mixing bowl and very slowly drizzle in the water a tablespoon at a time, stirring well in between. Taking care not to over-mix, add just enough ice water to help the dough come together. When you press a portion together with your fingertips, it should clump and hold it's shape without being sticky. Lay out a large piece of saran wrap and transfer the dough to it. Press the dough together and then form a flat disk about 3/4 inch thick. Wrap it tightly in the plastic and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour. (If you chill longer than that, allow the dough time to rest on the counter for a little while before attempting to roll it out again. It will be very firm after several hours in the refrigerator.)
• While the dough is chilling, combine the cranberries and apples in a mixing bowl with the butter. Toss gently to coat the fruit. Add the dry ingredients and toss gently again to mix well well. It's fine to let the fruit mixture rest at room temperature for an hour or so while the dough is chilling. You can also prepare the fruit filling just before baking and transfer it directly into the crust.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Unwrap the dough and place it between two large sheets of parchment paper. (I found that the dough was a bit stickier than traditional wheat flour crusts and the parchment helps it roll out smoothly without sticking to the rolling pin at all.) Roll it out as round as possible, about 12" across
• Remove the top paper and invert a tart pan or pie plate over the top of the dough. Flip the pan over with the dough pressed lightly into it. Carefully peel off the second sheet of paper and press the crust into the pan. If the dough splits or cracks, just press it back together. Smooth the top edges out as evenly as possible and then fill with the prepared filling.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes into the filling is bubbly and the crust is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve by itself or topped with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

CRANBERRY APPLE PIE

Steps:

• The day before you plan to bake the pie is a great time to make your dough. Pie baking can seem overwhelming at first, but broken down into a 2-day process it becomes pretty simple. The dough needs time to refrigerate before rolling it out so this step is crucial if you're looking for rich, flaky pastry.
• Add the flour, sugar and salt to a large bowl and whisk it together with a wire whisk to make sure the salt and sugar are distributed evenly throughout the flour.
• Add the canola oil and mix it into the flour mixture with your fingers until it disappears. It will cause the flour mixture to become slightly crumbly.
• Continuing to use your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture using quick motions where you flatten the pieces of butter between your hands as you slide your hands apart (one toward you, one away from you).
• Continue to use your hands as you add the cold water and lemon juice to the bowl and mix these wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using your hands at this stage is the best way to know exactly when the dough begins to form as the wet and dry ingredients combine so you can stop mixing. Remember: use your hands, but handle the dough as little as possible. Over-mixing leads to tough, dry, pie crust.
• Just as soon as the dough begins to form and the flour has almost disappeared, dump the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and shape the dough into two round disks. Wrap each disk of dough in plastic wrap and place them in the fridge to chill overnight.

CRANBERRY APPLE TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Make the dough. Form into a 5-inch disk, wrap in plastic and chill one hour, or up to 3 days. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and on a lightly floured surface, roll it to a 12-inch circle. Brush off any excess flour. Place the round on a sheet tray lined with wax or parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel, core and slice each apple in half. Slice each half in 3 sections and toss the apples in lemon juice. Set aside.
• Melt the butter, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice together in an ovenproof skillet measuring 10 inches across the top. (Bakelite handles are ovenproof.) Cook, stirring, until the mixture turns a light caramel color. Be careful not to overcook; it will continue to darken from the residual heat in the pan. Remove from heat.
• Arrange the apple slices, rounded side down, in a circle around the skillet and in the center. Scatter the cranberries between the slices. You'll have enough slices to stack them 2 deep.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and center it over the skillet. Using scissors, trim the circle so that it overhangs 1/2-inch all around. Tuck the edge down between the apples and the skillet. Lightly brush the dough with cold water and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake about 40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven and let sit on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Place a serving dish over the skillet and flip the whole thing to invert the tart onto the plate. (Don't forget to put a potholder over the skillet handle!) Serve with ginger whipped cream.

APPLE CRANBERRY TART

Steps:

• Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk, half-and-half, and vanilla. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and then use a pastry cutter, to cut it in until it's about the size of peas. Stir in the egg mixture and combine with a spoon. Add the chopped walnuts and mix with your hands to thoroughly combine. The dough will be crumbly.
• Add the mixture to a deep 9.5-inch diameter tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough mixture into the sides and bottom of the pan to create a 1/4-inch thick crust. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Remove and bake for 15 minutes until the crust just begins to brown. Remove from the oven to cool.
• Adjust the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To a large bowl, add the apples, cranberries, bourbon, sugar, flour, orange zest, spices, and salt. Mix with a spoon to evenly combine. Pour this mixture into the prepared crust.
• In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and vanilla. Combine with your fingers until the mixture begins to clump together. Sprinkle this mixture on top of the tart. Add cranberries for garnish.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes or until the apples are tender when poked with a fork. (If the tart begins to brown too quickly, cover it with a piece of foil during the rest of the baking process.) Before serving, allow the tart to cool until it is barely warm.

CRANBERRY APPLE TART

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• On a lightly floured counter, divided the dough in two. Use a rolling pin to roll out each piece of dough into a 10-in. circle about ¼ inches thick. Transfer the crusts to the prepared baking sheet (you may need to use 2 sheets). Set aside.
• Place the butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until melted. Mix in the cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and brown sugar. Use a pastry brush to coat both crusts with some of the butter mixture; reserve the remaining butter.
• Arrange half of the apple slices over each crust, then brush the apples with the remaining butter. Sprinkle half of the cranberries over each tart. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the apples are tender. Let cool before serving.

CRANBERRY-APPLE CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Make pastry:
• Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Drizzle 3 tablespoon ice water evenly over mixture and gently stir with a fork (or pulse) until incorporated.
• Squeeze a small handful: If dough doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring until incorporated. Do not overwork dough or pastry will be tough.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather all dough together (using a pastry scraper if you have one) and form into a 5-inch disk. If dough is sticky, dust lightly with additional flour. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Make crumble topping:
• Stir together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips until large clumps form, then stir in pecans. Chill until ready to use.
• Make fruit filling:
• Stir together apples, cranberries, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice in a large bowl.
• Assemble pie:
• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lower third.
