Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 4–6 tbsp cold water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on apple sweetness)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 medium apples (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and granulated sugar. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough holds together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least one hour.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches wide.
- Prepare Apples: Toss sliced apples with sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Arrange apples in the center of the dough, leaving about two inches around the edges.
- Fold and Bake: Fold edges of dough over apples, creating pleats. Brush crust with melted butter and sprinkle with additional sugar. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
