Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 2 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup crumbled Ädelost cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
Special equipment needed:
- Rolling pin
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together in a ball.
3. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with the sugar and lemon juice. Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
7. Sprinkle the crumbled Ädelost cheese over the apples.
8. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look.
9. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg.
10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
11. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
