| For the bottom crust: 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking powder 1 stick unsalted butter, very cold, cut into small bits 2 egg yolks 2 tsp. half-and-half 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract |
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into slices
For the topping: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 stick unsalted butter, very cold, cut into bits |
Here's how to make it:
Combine the dry ingredients for the bottom crust and blend the cold butter bits until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Use a pastry cutter or fork. If you are blending with a fork, you might try freezing the butter and using your box grater to add the butter to the flour mixture.
Add the wet ingredients and blend until a dough forms. Grease a glass baking dish and press the dough into the baking dish, covering the bottom completely and about 1/4 to 1/2 inch up the sides.
Lay the sliced Granny Smith apples in 3 rows on top of the dough.
Blend the ingredients for the topping and distribute the mixture over the apples.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is nicely browned and the apples look glazed. Cool on a wire rack.
To serve, cut into squares and top with whipped cream or ice cream.
