Ingredients

• ✓ apple cider vinegar
• all-purpose flour
• kosher salt
• butter
• water
• ice cube
• aluminum foil
• butter
• vanilla bean
• apple
• brown sugar
• egg

Instructions

1. 1 In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour and salt. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. On low speed, combine until the mixture looks like coarse sand. Make sure there are no pieces of butter larger than the size of a pea, and do not over-blend.
2. 2 In a small bowl, combine cold water, vinegar and ice. One tablespoon at a time, add the ice water mixture to the flour and butter, mixing between additions. Add the water until the dough comes together into a ball. The dough should be smooth, not sticky or crumbly. Shape into a disk. Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to three days.
3. 3 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a small skillet over a low heat, add the butter slowly and melt until it is lightly brown and nutty. Take off the heat and add the scraped vanilla to the browned butter.
4. 4 On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12x12-inch square. Place the crust on a rimmed baking sheet lined with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil.
5. 5 Arrange the apple slices onto the prepared crust in rows, fanning slightly as you go. Make sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges. Brush with the vanilla-infused browned butter. Sprinkle with the brown sugar. Fold up the edges of the tart over the sides of the apples, pressing down. Brush the sides of the tart with the egg wash. Refrigerate the tart for 30 minutes.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F. Rotate, decrease the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake for another 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown around the edges. Slice into 4 generous slices and serve.

• brown sugar
• salt
• chicken thigh
• wooden skewer
• pineapple
• corn tortilla
• cilantro

Instructions

1. 1 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add dried chiles; cook, turning occasionally, until toasted and blistered in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water to just cover the chiles, and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
2. 2 Combine chiles, achiote, garlic, chipotles, 2/3 cup onion, orange juice, vinegar, oil, cumin, brown sugar, and salt in a blender; process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. 3 Place remaining marinade in a shallow dish or large resealable plastic bag, add chicken; toss to evenly coat. Cover chicken with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
4. 4 Place wooden skewers in a shallow dish; cover with water by 1 inch. Let stand at room temperature while chicken marinates.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Position oven rack 8 inches away from heating element. Line a small roasting pan or 13- x 9-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
6. 6 Thread 1 pineapple slice onto 2 skewers, being sure to pierce through the center core, (skewers will be about 1 inch apart), leaving a 1 1/2-inch space from end of skewer. Thread 5 to 6 pieces of marinated chicken, stacking on top of pineapple; thread 1 pineapple slice. Repeat process, ending with pineapple slice, until all chicken pieces and pineapple slices are used, making 4 stacks total. Brush with any remaining marinade from chicken.
7. 7 Place stacked skewers in the prepared pan, resting skewer ends on edge of pan so that the chicken doesn't touch the bottom of the pan.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Flip skewers over, brush with reserved 1/2 cup marinade. Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Increase oven temperature to broil; broil until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip, and broil until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes.
9. 9 Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over high heat. Working two at a time, add tortillas; cook, turning once, until heated and browning in some spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

• black pepper
• allspice
• cumin
• salt
• clove
• adobo sauce

• garlic
• onion
• tomato sauce
• beef broth
• guajillo chile pepper
• corn husk

Instructions

1. 1 Soak corn husks in a heavy pot or skillet of water for 24 hours, keeping them submerged.
2. 2 About four hours before corn husks ready, place guajillo chile peppers in a dry skillet over medium heat; toast until fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds per side. Add some water to the skillet; simmer until tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer chiles to a blender.
3. 3 Add 1 cup beef broth, tomato sauce, onion, garlic, chipotles in adobo sauce, vinegar, cloves, 1 tablespoon salt, cumin, allspice, and black pepper to the blender; blend until marinade is smooth.
4. 4 Place pork butt in a slow cooker; pour marinade over top. Cover the slow cooker. Cook on Low until pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork, 4 to 5 hours.
5. 5 Shred pork; return to the slow cooker and stir into sauce until well combined.
6. 6 Meanwhile, whisk masa harina, baking powder, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to combine. Add 2 cups beef broth and lard; whisk until mixture is fluffy and well combined (dough will be sticky).
7. 7 Place 1 corn husk on a flat work surface; open and pat dry. Spread some dough evenly down center of husk, leaving room around edges; dollop a line of pork filling down center of dough.
8. 8 Fold one side of husk over filling, then fold other side of husk to overlap, creating a tube. Fold up narrow end of husk to seal bottom, leaving top open. Tie tamale with 1 strip of husk or kitchen twine.
9. 9 Place a steamer insert into a large saucepan; fill with water to just below bottom of insert. Bring water to a boil.
10. 10 Place tamales vertically into steamer basket, sealed-sides down. Cover the pan; steam for 1 hour. Serve hot.
