Filling
5 | apples, peeled & sliced |
5 T | butter |
3/4 C | sugar / brown sugar |
Crust
1 1/2 C | flour |
1/3+ C | sugar |
6 T | butter |
2 | egg yolks |
1/4 t | salt |
Prepare crust first by mixing flour, sugar and salt together. Mix in butter and egg yolks. Mix until dough forms (I add a bit of cold water to help it along, but don’t add too much). Cover and place in refridgerator.
Melt butter in a large oven-proof frying pan, and add sugar. Add apples and cook over medium heat stirring up the apples occasionally. Continue cooking until the sauce which forms is a dark caramel color. Remove from heat.
While apples cool, preheat oven to 350o and roll out crust on a floured surface to size of frying pan. Cover apples with crust and place in oven for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Options: Add 1/2 t Cinnamon to apples while they are cooking.
