Ingredients

Pastry

• 1 cup plus 2 Tbsps flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• About 2 Tbsps ice-cold water

Filling

• 4 tablespoons brown sugar, more to taste
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• About 6 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Directions

Pastry

1. Make the pastry: Put the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the butter pieces and pinch with the fingers to create a crumb texture. Make a well in the middle, and pour in the vanilla and water. Quickly work in the flour to create dough. Do not over-mix. Pat into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate 15 minutes.

Filling

1. Heat the oven to 450°F/230°C. Roll the pastry into a round and lay on a baking sheet. Stir together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl. Toss in the apples to coat, and dump onto the pastry. Dot with the butter. Bring the edges of the pastry up over so they lay in, rough-edged, on the apples. They won’t cover the apples completely. Bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the apples soft to a fork and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes.
