Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and diced
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 4-5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Мethod of preparation

To make the pastry, mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, roll out dough into a 12 inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a bowl, toss apples with brown sugar, spices, and lemon juice. Arrange apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of dough over the apples, pleating as necessary. Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until crust is golden and apples are tender. Allow to cool before serving.
