tablespoons of apples to the center of each square. Fold over puff pastry to form a triangle. Crimp edges with a fork to seal. In a

PASTRY
3 1 ⁄
2
cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
6 ounces ice cold water with a dash of cider

1 tangerine or orange
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups fresh cranberries
1 1 ⁄

cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

(about the size of a pea). Drizzle in cold water and continue to mix until dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate

and juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
