Ingredients
- apples - watch the video to see (peeled and sliced)
- sugar - watch the video to see (portion for apple pie filling)
- butter - watch the video to see (ice cold, for dough)
- water - watch the video to see (ice cold, for dough)
Instructions
- Peel and Prepare Apples: Peel the apples by turning them as you peel. This should take about 10 seconds per apple.
- Draw Out Apple Juices: Pour a portion of sugar over the peeled apples and let them sit for 1 hour to draw out the water from the apples.
- Caramelize Apple Liquid: Take the liquid drawn out from the apples and reduce it until it turns caramel in color. Add this caramel back into the apple filling.
- Prepare Dough: Make your dough using ice cold butter and ice cold water to ensure the dough becomes flaky and not tough. The butter should be visible coursing through the dough.
- Prevent Dough Over-Browning: If the dough starts to get too dark while baking, use a shield made from tin foil to protect it from over-browning.
