Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup butter, unsalted
- 1 large yolk
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 6 apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
Method
Step 1
Sift flour and grind into a bowl. Add 1 tbsp. of sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, ½ tsp. salt. Add softened butter and mix with a fork until everything is evenly mixed. It will look like crumbs.
Step 2
Add one egg yolk and 2-3 tbsp of water. The dough should be elastic. Form a ball, wrap in cling foil and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Step 4
Wash your apples, remove the core and slice.
Step 5
Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp. of sugar and wait until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add sliced apples, 1 tsp. cinnamon and stir the apples a little with a wooden spatula. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should release a little juice, but remain firm inside.
Step 6
Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out between two sheets of waxed parchment. Roll out until it becomes the size of a baking dish plus the sides. I used a 10 inch dish.
Step 7
Place the rolled dough in a baking dish. Gently press the dough down into the dish so that it lines the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim the edge with a knife or kitchen scissors.
Step 8
Place caramelized apples into the crust. Optionally you can arrange fresh apple slices over the filling, sprinkling them with 1 tbsp of sugar and some cinnamon.
Step 9
Bake for 45 min. Let cool completely before serving.
