Steps:
- Make the tart dough: Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse to blend. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add vanilla and water to processor, then slowly add flour and cinnamon sugar. Pulse just until a dough forms, adding a little extra ice water if necessary. Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a 1-inch-thick round. Wrap 1 disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour; freeze the other for future use.
- Put a pizza stone or cookie sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F for 45 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before rolling to soften it slightly.
- Place the dough round between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll into a 13-inch round (about a 1/4-inch thickness), flouring the round lightly as needed to keep the dough from sticking. Remove the top sheet of parchment. Use the rim of a small round bowl to make 6 individual crostatas. Cut around the edge of the bowl, in the dough, with a sharp knife. Slide a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet under the bottom sheet of parchment, and remove excess dough from crostatas.
- To make the filling, combine the apples, sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl and toss well. Add cranberry sauce and salt and toss again, briefly. Paint the edges of the crostatas with egg yolk wash. Fill the center of the dough rounds with the apples (about 1/2 cup each) in an even layer, leaving a border of about 1 1/2 inches. Fold the border up and over the apples to make a rim. Brush the rim with egg wash, then sprinkle with coarse sugar. Trim the excess parchment with scissors, and press sides together.
- Use the pizza peel or baking sheet to transfer the crostatas, still with parchment underneath, to the oven, sliding it, with the paper, directly onto the pizza stone. Bake until the crust is nicely browned and the apples are bubbling, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven with the peel or baking sheet and let cool on a rack for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm. Note: This can be made hours ahead and reheated before serving.

CRANBERRY BRISKET
The sweet and tart flavors of the cranberries shine through in this tender brisket recipe. The reason you cook it twice is to make the slicing easier. If you cooked it all in one day, the meat would fall apart and end up stringy. This would be more like a Pot Roast than the Sliced Brisket that I wanted to serve. Slicing it cold ended up to real easy, and the meat ended up super tender, and moist. Note: Butt Kickin' Blacken contains neither salt, nor sugar, and is available at http://www.capnrons.com/index.html?id=rz. If you choose to use a different blackening seasoning, you might have to adjust accordingly.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
- Remove the brisket from it's package, rinse, and wipe dry. You can see how much fat is on the top.
- Trim off most of the fat, including the membrane that's right beneath it.
- Dump the Blacken on top, then the dark brown sugar. Rub it into the meat real well, including the sides.
- Place the brisket into the oven, uncovered at 500 degrees for 15 minutes.
- While the meat is in the oven, open the cranberry sauce, place it in a pot, and break it up a little. Add the rum, and heat over medium heat just until the jelly is melted.
- After 15 minutes in the oven, the meat will have a nice crust on it. Take it out of the oven and pour the cranberry sauce over the top and sides of the meat. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil, place the pan back in the oven, and turn the heat down to 300 degrees. This slow cooking will break down the collagens in the meat, making it tender.
- Cook for another 2 1/2 hours.
- Take it out of the oven, let it cool, then refrigerate in the same pan overnight.
- The next day, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. You'll notice that the fat has risen to the top, and become quite hard. remove this fat with tongs. Don't be too concerned with getting every last bit of fat out, because it really won't matter.
- Slice the meat into 3/8" - 1/2" pieces.
- Place the pieces back into the pan trying to recreate the shape of the meat. Pour an additional cup of Cranberry juice, Apple Juice, Orange juice, etc. into the pot to increase the amount of liquid.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for another 2 hours.
- When it's done place the meat on a platter, and pour the drippings into a gravy boat. We didn't feel that there was any need to thicken the drippings, because, being thin, they added to the flavor and moistness of the meat.
- I served this with Potato Salad, Corn Bread, and additional Cranberry Sauce.

SPICY CRAN-APPLE SAUCE
Delicious way to get extra vitamin C and fiber in my diet! Very high in vitamin C and fiber, this sauce is very versatile. It's great as a condiment/side to turkey, pork, fish or chicken. Also terrific dessert or snack mixed with a serving of vanilla ice cream, yogurt or as a topping on your favorite cheesecake! I like to use 2 different apples for a great taste and texture mix. Sunsweet brand has diced plums called 'Plum Amazins'. They are delicious and perfect for this recipe!

Tips:
- Choose the best cut of beef brisket for braising: Look for a brisket flat or a brisket point, which are both well-marbled and have good flavor.
- Sear the brisket before braising: Searing the brisket creates a flavorful crust and helps to keep the juices locked in.
- Use a flavorful liquid for braising: The liquid you use for braising will add a lot of flavor to the brisket. Try using a combination of beef broth, apple cider, and cranberry juice, along with spices and herbs.
- Cook the brisket low and slow: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked low and slow in order to become tender. Cook the brisket at a temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 8 hours.
- Let the brisket rest before serving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Cran-apple spice brisket is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a holiday meal. The brisket is braised in a flavorful liquid made with apple cider, cranberry juice, and spices, and it is cooked until it is fall-apart tender. The cranberry-apple sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the brisket, and the spices add warmth and depth of flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
