Mini Cranberry-Cheesecake Pies
Directions: Place 1 2 cup of the cranberries in a bowl; add maple syrup, and toss to coat. Place sanding sugar in a separate bowl. Working in batches of about 2 tablespoons each, add cranberries to sanding sugar; toss to coat. Arrange cranberries in 1 layer on a plate. Set aside to dry at room temperature, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Meanwhile, stir together orange zest, orange juice, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, and remaining 1 4 cup cranberries in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally and mashing cranberries with the back of a spoon, until mixture is slightly thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Using a fork, mash cranberries until mixture is almost smooth. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. (If needed, stir in up to 1 tablespoon water, 1 2 teaspoon at a time, until mixture has consistency of loose jam.)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray; set aside. Stir together gingersnap crumbs, melted butter, 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar, and 3 4 teaspoon of the salt in a bowl. Spoon into muffin cups (about 3 1⁄2 tablespoons each); press into bottom and up sides.
Bake piecrusts in preheated oven until set, 12 to 16 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to press hot crusts back into a cup shape. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Combine cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, and remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 4 teaspoon salt in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer cheesecake mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large (3 4-inch) open star tip.
Carefully remove cooled crusts from pan. Pipe filling into crusts (about 3 tablespoons each). Before serving, top each pie with about 1 2 teaspoon cranberry compote. Top with sugared cranberries and orange zest. Serve remaining compote on the side.

Ingredients: 3⁄4 cup fresh or thawed frozen cranberries, divided 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup 1 2 cup white sanding sugar 1 teaspoon grated orange zest plus 1/3 cup fresh juicE (from 1 large [10 oz.] orange), plus more zest for garnish 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar, divided 2 3⁄4 cups finely crushed crisp gingersnap cookies (from about 12 oz. cookies) 1 2 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided 2 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened 1 4 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
and thighs. Repeat until the injector is empty. Place turkey on a large parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Remove from refrigerator, and let stand at room temperature 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour oil in a deep propane turkey fryer. (The 3-gallon amount is below the recommended fill line, about 10 to 12 inches from top of fryer, which will help prevent hot oil from bubbling over once frying begins.) Heat oil to 350°F over a medium-low flame according to manufacturer's instructions. Using the turkey rod attachment, carefully lower turkey, neck down and legs up, into hot oil. (Hot oil may bubble over the rim of the pot, so pay close attention!) Fry turkey about 3 minutes per pound, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh registers 155°F, about 30 minutes. Carefully lift turkey out of oil; transfer to a carving board.
Sprinkle hot turkey all over with Creole seasoning. Rest until thermometer registers 165°F, about 30 minutes. Carve turkey, and serve.
