Ingredients

Pastry Dough

200 grams of all-purpose flour

100 grams of cold butter

30 grams of sugar

Cold water

Filling

5-6 tart apples

100 grams of regular sugar

75 grams of butter at room temperature

Optional: cinnamon and or ginger

Instructions

For the pastry dough, place butter in cubes on flour and sugar and work into crumbs the size of peas. Add a few tablespoons of water and work into a dough. If too crumbly, add a bit more. Cover airtight and chill for at least 30min in the fridge.

For the filling, peel apples, quarter and take out kernel. Cut in eighths so that you have more uniform slices. Place the sugar in an oven-proof skillet and melt at medium-high temperature. Once melted, add soft butter, wait again until melted, reduce heat to low, add the spices if using and place the apple slices in a circle in the middle. Simmer for about five minutes.

Meanwhile preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take out the pastry dough and roll out into a circle larger than your skillet. Place on top of the skillet, trim off sides and tuck the apples with it.

Bake for about 25min or until golden. Loosen edges with a knife and turn skillet upside down. Be sure to use a large plate for turning over, you may wish to take a baking sheet in the worst case. If the apple slices moved, just place them back with two forks. Serve immediately warm or cold.
