CRANBERRY PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and butter; spread onto the bottom of a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Top with pineapple slices. Place a whole cranberry in the center of each pineapple; sprinkle remaining cranberries around pineapple., For cake, in a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Fold in cranberries; spoon over pineapple., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Cool 10 minutes; invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm; if desired, top with whipped cream.

FLAT APPLE-CRANBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening. Using a pastry cutter, gradually work the butter and shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. This step should take 3 to 4 minutes.
• Lightly beat the egg with a fork, then add it to the crust mixture. Next, add the cold water and vinegar. Stir the mixture together until it?s just combined. Divide the dough in half and form into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss the apples, cranberries, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, salt and lemon juice. Set aside and see how long you can keep from sneaking a slice of apple.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. With a rolling pin, begin rolling out the dough disks into 12-inch rounds on a lightly floured surface, rolling from the center outward. Be gentle and patient; it?ll take a little time to get the dough completely rolled out. If you think the bottom is really sticking to the surface below, use a nice sharp spatula to loosen the dough and sprinkle some extra flour on top. Then flip it over to finish rolling. Loosen the dough with a spatula, lift and carefully place each round on a prepared baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place half the apple-cranberry mixture on 1 dough round and the other half on the other round. Fold in the edges so that the dough covers 2 to 3 inches of the apple-cranberry mixture. No need to be artistic?the more rustic, the better. Freeze the pies 30 minutes.
• Dot the tops of the pies with the butter chunks. Brush the crust edges with the egg wash. Bake the pies until the filling is golden and bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes. If the crust appears to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil for the remaining baking time. Let the pies cool slightly, then slice into wedges.

VEGAN CRANBERRY FLUFF SALAD

Steps:

• Place the cranberries and the sugar into a high-powered blender or food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed. Transfer mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight. Add your cans of coconut milk to the refrigerator at the same time. The coconut cream needs to be chilled in order to make the coconut whipped cream.
• The next day, add cranberries to a large bowl. Drain the pineapple by pouring into a fine-mesh strainer and press gently on the pineapple with the back of a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Pour drained pineapple into bowl with cranberries. Add 1/2 cup pecans. Stir until combined.
• To make the coconut whipped cream, scoop the coconut cream off of the top of the cans of coconut milk. Save the liquid for smoothies or discard. Add the coconut cream to a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip the coconut cream until smooth and fluffy. Add 2 1/2 cups of the coconut whipped cream to the salad along with the marshmallows. Use a spatula to fold the whipped cream into the salad.
• Serve topped with remaining pecans. You can serve this immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for 3-4 days (stir again before serving). Can also be frozen but I recommend thawing and stirring before serving (some cranberry fluff can be served frozen but we didn't think the vegan version was great frozen).
