Crab Apple Tarte Tatin
Dinner with Julie - http://www.dinnerwithjulie.com/2013/09/17/crabapple-tarte-tatin

Small or medium crab apples

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter

2 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup

Pastry for a single crust pie or 1 pkg. puff pastry, thawed

• Preheat the oven to 400°. Stem and halve your crab apples; if you like, cut out their cores.
• In a heavy ovenproof or cast iron skillet cook the sugar, butter and honey over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, until it turns smooth and golden. Place enough apples to cover the bottom of the pan into the hot caramel and cook for another 2-3 minutes. (Pack them tightly - they'll shrink.) Remove from heat and turn the apples cut-side up using tongs.
• Roll the pastry out until it’s a little larger in diameter than the skillet(s); cover the apples and tuck in the edge of the pastry. Cut a few slits in the top and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the apples bubble around the edges.
• Carefully invert the tarte tatin onto a plate while it’s still warm. Serve with whipped cream sweetened with maple syrup.

Crab Apple-Cranberry Relish
The Washington Post - https://www.washingtonpost.com/pb/recipes/crab-apple-cranberry-relish/11765

8 ounces unpeeled crab apples, cored and cut into 1/4-inch pieces 

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

1/2 cup sugar, plus more to taste

1/4 cup pure unsweetened cranberry juice

• Place the apple pieces in a medium saucepan over medium heat; cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
• Add the cranberries and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring and/or slightly mashing, until they release their juices.
• Add the sugar and stir until it has dissolved, then add the cranberry juice and mix well. Taste, and add sugar as needed.
• Serve warm; or cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Moscato Poached Pears Wrapped in Puff Pastry

Fifteen Spatulas - http://www.fifteenspatulas.com/moscato-poached-pears-wrapped-in-puff-pastry

3 firm pears

4 cups moscato wine

1.25 cups sugar

3 strips lemon zest, removed with a vegetable peeler

juice of 1/2 a lemon

2 cinnamon sticks

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

• Peel the pears. If they don't stand up straight on their own, cut a bit off the bottom to create a flat surface.
• In a saucepan, combine the wine, sugar, lemon strips and juice, and cinnamon sticks. Heat over medium high until the sugar dissolves. Add the pears, and lay them on their sides.
• Riper pears will need less cook time, but typically your pears need somewhere between 5 and 15 minutes on each side. Make sure you watch so your pears don't turn into mush. Once the pear is knife tender on all sides, remove from the poaching liquid. Remove the lemon strips from the pot, and turn the heat to high to start reducing the poaching liquid. Reduce until it's thick and amber colored.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the puff pastry into long strips using a pizza wheel.
• Wrap the puff pastry strips around the outside of the pear, starting from the bottom. They should stick pretty well on their own.
• Bake the pears for 15 to 20 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown. Drizzle the pears with the reduced poaching liquid, and enjoy!

Cranberry Buckle
Leite's Culinaria - http://leitesculinaria.com/82700/recipes-cranberry-buckle.html

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan

3/4 cup granulated sugar

 Zest from 1 orange, preferably organic

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sour cream (for the love of all things good, use full-fat)

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries

For the crumb topping

1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar, and orange zest together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition, then add the vanilla. Switch to a spoon and add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Fold in 1 cup cranberries.
• Spread the batter in the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cranberries over the cake.
• Make the crumb topping: Combine the flour, sugars, salt, and butter in the bowl of a food processor or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Pulse or mix on low speed until the mixture is the texture of coarse crumbs. Drizzle the vanilla over the mixture and either pulse or mix briefly just until incorporated.
• Sprinkle 1 cup crumb topping over the cranberries on the batter. If you really, really, really like crumbs, dump the rest of the crumbs on the cake. If you want to save a little for another day, stash the remaining crumb topping in a resealable plastic bag for another buckle and freeze for up to 3 months.
• Bake the buckle for 45 to 50 minutes, until lightly golden and firm on top. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving. The cake will keep, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
