recipe

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Wash and peel the apples. Cut them into quarters, removing the core.
  • Step 2
    Add half the butter and half the sugar to a pan on medium heat. Mix and let it melt.
  • Step 3
    Optional: Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Remove the inside using a knife.
  • Step 4
    Once the caramel starts to darken, add the vanilla (optional) and the apples. Mix and cook for 15 minutes on low heat. Stir occasionally.
  • Step 5
    In the meantime, mix the flour, the rest of the butter (softened), the sugar, and salt in a bowl.
  • Step 6
    Mix until the dough forms a crumbly texture. Add the yolk and 3 tablespoons of water. Combine well and form the dough into a ball.
  • Step 7
    Flour your work surface and roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Step 8
    Check the apples: they should be lightly browned on the outside and slightly translucent.
  • Step 9
    Optional: put the vanilla bean at the base of the cake pan.
  • Step 10
    Pour the apples and the caramel into the cake pan. Arrange them with the thick part facing down.
  • Step 11
    Top with the dough and fold in the borders. Prick a few times with a fork and bake for 20 minutes at 200°C.
  • Step 12
    Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Step 13
    Place a large plate over the cake pan, hold it in place and quickly flip. Remove the cake pan. Enjoy!
