DOUBLE APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture forms 3/4-inch pieces. Mix vodka with 4 tablespoons ice water (or use 1/2 cup ice water). Add half the ice water mixture to dough, pulse a few times, then continue adding liquid a tablespoon at a time until dough just comes together (you might not use all the liquid). Dough should be moist, but not wet, and hold together when pinched. If there are visible pieces of butter in the dough, all the better.
• On a lightly floured surface, gather dough into a ball. Remove a third of the dough and form into a disk. Form remaining dough into a disk. Cover both tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 5 days.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger disk to a 12-inch circle. Transfer dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Fold over any excess dough, then crimp edges. Prick crust all over with a fork, then chill crust for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• While dough chills, heat oven to 400 degrees. Line chilled crust with foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes; remove foil and weights and bake until pale golden, 5 minutes more. Cool on rack until needed. (You can bake the crust up to 24 hours in advance.)
• Toss apples with sugars, tapioca, spices, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the lemon juice. Fold in apple butter. Transfer apples to crust and press gently to make sure fruit is tightly packed.
• Roll out remaining dough disk to a 10-inch round. Use a knife to cut strips 1 3/4 inches wide. Arrange strips over the filling in a lattice pattern. Brush top of crust with heavy cream or milk. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
• Place pie on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Bake 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling thickly, about 1 hour 15 minutes more. Let pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before cutting. Serve with whipped cream, sour cream or crème fraîche.

DOUBLE APPLE TART

Steps:

• Pulse the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a food processor to combine. Add the butter and process until pea-size pieces. Whisk together the cream and crème fraiche in a measuring cup or small bowl until smooth. Remove the top of the food processor and add the cream mixture (do not use the food processor feed tube). Secure the top and pulse until the dough just comes together. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap, pat into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Cut 2 pieces of parchment to fit a baking sheet. Place the dough between the parchment and roll into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. Transfer to the freezer to firm up, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel the apples and reserve the peels. Slice off the cheeks of each apple and reserve, leaving the core. Cut the cores in half and add to a medium pot along with the peels, 1 cup of the sugar and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower to a strong simmer and cook, pushing down on the cores with a wooden spoon or potato masher to break them apart as they soften, until the liquid reduces to about 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing the solids with a wooden spoon to extract all of the liquid. Set aside the liquid and compost or discard the solids.
• Meanwhile, cut the apple cheeks into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Transfer the dough on the parchment to a rimmed baking sheet. Remove the top piece of parchment. Shingle the apple slices on the dough in 4 lengthwise rows, leaving a 1/2-inch border of dough all the way around. Sprinkle the apples and border with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until the dough is lightly golden around the edges, about 45 minutes.
• Drizzle the apples with half of the apple syrup and return the tart to the oven to bake until the dough is dark golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle the tart with the remaining apple syrup. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of crème fraiche.
