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.

Steps:

• Par-bake the crust: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Use both pie crusts to cover the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish. Patchwork works, just cover the holes. Dock by pricking holes in the crust with a fork all over the bottom. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the fruit filling: In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, almond extract, pumpkin pie spice, lemon zest and lemon juice. Divide the mixture among the smaller bowls: 3/4 cup in the first, 1/2 cup in the second and 1/4 cup in the third. (Think of the 3 bears: poppa, momma and baby bear bowls.)
• Put the cranberries in the poppa bear bowl; in the momma bear bowl, add the apples; and in the baby bear bowl, add the figs. (Do you need a translation? Add cranberries to the bowl with the most flour mixture, apples to the bowl with 1/2 cup of the flour mixture, and the figs to the bowl with the least amount of the flour mixture.) Stir each bowl independently, unless you¿re an octopus.
• For the streusel topping: In a food processor add the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt. Blend until crumbly, taste and add more salt if needed. Pour into a small bowl with the almonds and stir.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the fruit filling into the prepared crust, dividing it into thirds with the apples in the middle and the figs and cranberries on either side. Top evenly with the streusel mixture. Cover the pie edges with aluminum foil so they don¿t overcook. Bake until the top is golden brown and the fruit is beginning to bubble around the edges, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm with the bourbon whipped cream.
• Whisk the cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add the bourbon and sugar and continue whisking until the cream holds slightly stiff peaks when the whisk is removed from the bowl. Refrigerate and serve cold.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F (210 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange pie crust on the prepared baking sheet. Mix walnuts, brown sugar, 1 egg, butter, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Spread the walnut filling over the pie crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the filling in the bowl.
• Arrange apple slices in a circular pattern over the filling. Sprinkle cranberries over the apples. Drop small amounts of the reserved walnut filling here and there over the apples. Fold crust over the filling, overlapping as necessary to form a rustic circle.
• Beat remaining egg and water together to make egg wash. Brush edges of crust with the egg wash. Sprinkle Demerara sugar on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is browned and apples are bubbling, about 30 minutes. Place baking sheet on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. Lift up tart using the parchment paper and place directly on a cooling rack for 1 hour.
• Run a large knife or angled cake spatula under the tart to release the parchment paper and transfer to a serving tray.

Steps:

• Crust:
• Preheat oven to 350. cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg yolks until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ground nuts, cinnamon, cloves and baking powder.
• Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix till just combined.
• Using a 9 inch tart pan with removable bottom, press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan about 1/2 inch. Set aside.
• Filling: In a medium bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Add the cranberries and set aside.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter over low heat.
• Add the sugar and brown sugar adn cook for 1-2 minutes, until sugar starts to melt.
• Stir in the orange juice till combined. Add the apple-cranberry mixture and continue stirring with a wooden spoon until the fruit is coated and teh mixture is bubbly, about 3-4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Assembly: spread the apple mixture evenly in the crust, dot with the butter.
• Roll out the remaining dough approximately 1/4 inch thick and cut into 3/4 inch strips long enough to cover the tart.
• Arrange the strips diagonally 1/2 inch apart in a lattice pattern over the apple filling.
• Whisk together the egg and water and brush the strips lightly with the mixture. Bake for 40 minutes or till golden brown.
• Cool slightly before serving.
• Tart may be baked up to 24 hours in advanced and reheated for about 10 minutes before serving.

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.
