SNICKERDOODLE-CRUSTED APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C); position rack in the bottom third of oven.
• Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and cream of tartar in a large bowl. Drizzle in butter. Stir crust mixture until just combined and crumbly.
• Transfer 1 1/4 cups of crust mixture into a separate bowl; add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Knead with your fingertips until well combined but still crumbly. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze crumb topping until ready to use.
• Pour vinegar and water into the remaining crust mixture. Mix to form a dough; transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth. Press dough onto the bottom and sides of a pie plate using a flat-bottomed measuring cup to make the bottom crust. Crimp edges with a lightly floured fork. Freeze until ready to use.
• Toss apples, 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and sea salt together in a large bowl. Pile over the bottom crust and cover with the crumb topping.
• Bake on the bottom rack of the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (174 degrees C). Turn pie and continue baking, covering crust aluminum foil or a pie shield halfway through, until crust is golden brown, about 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before slicing, about 1 hour.

COPYCAT SNICKERDOODLE CUPCAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Whisk the flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low between additions. Mix in the vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the dry mixture and mix on medium low until incorporated.
• For the coating: Whisk the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside about 1 tablespoon of the mixture in a small bowl for topping the baked cookies.
• Divide the dough into 10 pieces, about 1/3 cup each. With wet hands, shape each piece of dough into a ball and roll in the cinnamon-sugar coating, rewetting your hands as needed. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each dough ball until roughly 1 inch thick.
• Bake until the cookies are puffed and the edges are very lightly browned, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets.
• For the frosting: While the cookies cool, mix the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium high until combined. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt and mix on low until incorporated, then mix on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
• Pipe a swirl of frosting starting in the center of each cookie going outward to the edge. Top with a sprinkle of the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
