Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 250°C.
  • Pulse flour, butter, and icing sugar in a food processor until breadcrumbs form.
  • Add egg yolks and pulse until the mixture forms a dough.
  • Divide the dough into two, wrap in clingfilm, and freeze for at least one hour.
  • Toss the apple wedges in lemon juice.
  • Caramelize 85g of sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan until pale golden brown.
  • Arrange drained apples in a single layer over the caramel.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until the apples soften slightly.
  • Sprinkle the remaining sugar and dot butter over the apples.
  • Grate the frozen pastry over the apples to form a 2.5cm layer.
  • Reduce oven to 220°C and bake for 20 minutes until golden.
  • Rest for two minutes, then flip carefully onto an oversized serving dish.
  • Serve warm with cream, crème fraîche, or ice cream.
