Ingredients

Cardamon Apple Filling

  • 2 pounds apples, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Salted Caramel Sauce

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Cardamon Apple Filling

  • In a large bowl, gently combine apples with sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, cardamom, and flour.
  • Roll out the dough. Starting in the center, arrange the apples in overlapping rows or circles, leaving a 2-inch border. Brush melted butter over the top of arranged apples.
  • Pleat the dough, brush with egg mixture, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 30 minutes and then cover with tented foil and bake for 30 minutes longer.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce.

Salted Caramel Sauce

  • In a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine sugar with cold water and stir to combine. Cook, without stirring, until sugar has turned a deep amber hue, approximately 10–12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, warm cream, butter, and salt in a small saucepan. When caramel is ready, slowly whisk in warm cream and continue simmering the mixture until it is smooth (another 2–3 minutes). Remove from heat and serve warm.
