**Tzimmes: A Sweet and Savory Jewish Stew**
Tzimmes is a traditional Jewish stew made with root vegetables, dried fruits, and spices. It is often served as a side dish or main course during Jewish holidays and special occasions. There are many different variations of tzimmes, but the most common ingredients include carrots, potatoes, parsnips, sweet potatoes, apples, and prunes. The vegetables are typically braised in a sweet and sour sauce made with chicken broth, honey, brown sugar, and spices. Tzimmes can be made with or without meat, and there are also many vegan and vegetarian versions of the dish. In this article, we will provide recipes for three different types of tzimmes: classic tzimmes with chicken, pareve tzimmes without meat, and a sweet and spicy tzimmes with harissa.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch springform pan and line with parchment paper.
- Combine butter, 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Turn out onto a clean work surface and quickly form into a ball. Dust a large piece of plastic wrap with flour and place pastry on top. Cover with a second piece of plastic wrap and roll out between the wrap to fit the 9-inch springform pan.
- Place pastry into the bottom and the sides of the prepared springform and prick numerous times with a fork. Line pastry with parchment paper and a layer of pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry crust is firm but not hard, about 15 minutes. Let the pastry cool for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the parchment paper and weights; continue baking until the crust sets, about 5 minutes more.
- Layer thinly sliced apples evenly over the pre-baked pastry crust.
- Whisk creme fraiche, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Pour over apples.
- Bake tart in the preheated oven on top of a baking sheet (in case some filling spills) until tart is set and the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. The filling should still be a little wobbly, as it firms up while cooling.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Strain apricot jam through a sieve. Combine apricot jam and water in a saucepan and heat until runny, about 3 minutes. Brush the jam over the top of the tart. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over tart.
- Place tart under the broiler until the top is golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
