Serves 6-8

For the Crust

Ingredients

2-cups unbleached flour

3-tablespoons granulated sugar

1-teaspoon kosher salt

1-cup unsalted, chilled butter

4-6 tablespoons ice water

Directions

Mix together the unbleached flour, granulated sugar, and Kosher salt. Add the butter in chunks, and incorporate with a fork until the mixture resembles small peas. Slowly add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together.

Form the dough into a round ball, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and roll out on a floured surface-  place in a greased 9 X 13 baking dish.

Put in a 350-degree oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges become brown. Remove from the oven, and let cool.

For the Filling

Ingredients

8 granny smith apples (these work best because of the tartness of the apples)

1-cup brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

1-cup heavy whipping cream

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1-teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Peel and core the apples, and slice into 1-inche wedges

Place the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.   Once the butter has melted, add the apples to the pan- carefully stir with a wooden spoon for 3-4 minutes.

Add the brown and granulated sugar to the apples- cook for 2 minutes.

Next, add the heavy whipping cream, salt, and cinnamon and cook for 5 minutes until a caramel sauce develops.

Remove the cooked apples from the heat.
