Use a 28 cm. diameter, oven-safe pan.
Ingredients:
Dough:
1 ¼ cups flour, sifted½ tsp. salt½ tsp. sugar115 gr. cold butter or margarine, cut into small pieces¼ cup ice water
Filling:
6 Granny Smith apples¾ cup sugar3 Tbsp. cold water60 gr. butter or margarine, cut into small piecesDirections:
To prepare the dough: Use a mixer with a steel blade to blend the
flour, salt and sugar for a few seconds. Then add the butter and process
for 10 seconds until the dough is crumbly. Gradually add the water, and
process for 30 seconds until the dough is just mixed. (Don’t overmix,
as that will reduce the crust’s flakiness.) Form the dough into a ball,
then flatten it a bit and cover with plastic wrap. Set it in the fridge
for at least an hour.
To prepare the filling: Peel and core the apples, then cut into
quarters. Reserve one apple half to place in the center of the tart. Add
the sugar and water to a pan and bring to a boil over a high heat. Then
lower the heat to medium and cook until the sugar turns amber. (Don’t
stir the sugar, just shake the pot a bit every once in a while.) Remove
from the heat, and stir in the butter.
Place the half apple in the center of the pan. Arrange the apple
quarters in concentric circles in the pan, with the round sides facing
down. Cook for 20 minutes over a low heat until the sauce thickens.
Remove from the heat.
Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out into a circle on a
floured surface so that the circumference is a tad larger than that of
the frying pan. Place the dough circle on top of the apples in the pan,
and press the extra dough around the edge down into the pan.
Place the pan in an oven that has been preheated to 190° (you can
cover the handle with foil) for 15-20 minutes until the crust has
browned. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15
minutes.
Place a serving plate upside down on top of the tart, then flip it over. Serve immediately.
