Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl mix the flour, salt and sugar together. Add the butter and use your fingers to rub it into the flour until a coarse meal is formed. Add the cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough forms into clumps.

Form the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

In a small bowl mix the apple slices, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and lemon juice. Let sit for a few minutes until sugar has dissolved. Give it another stir to make sure the cornstarch has dissolved.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll the dough into a circle on a lightly floured surface. Place the apples in the middle of the dough, placing the pat of butter in the middle. Fold the edges up over the apples pleating as you go. Brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with raw sugar if desired. Place the pat of butter on top center of the apples.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until crusts are just beginning to color. Turn the oven down to 375 and bake for about 25 minutes or until the apples are soft and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool about 10-15 minutes before serving.
