Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour with 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 tbsp ice water gradually, stirring until a dough forms. Gather dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, core and thinly slice 3 medium apples into 1/8-inch slices. Toss the apples with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to the prepared sheet pan.
  6. Step 6: Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as needed.
  7. Step 7: Beat 1 large egg and brush it over the exposed dough edges. Sprinkle 1 tbsp granulated sugar on top for sparkle.
  8. Step 8: Bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and apples are tender.
  9. Step 9: Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
