Ingredients Image
 3 large grannie smith apples (about 1/2 pounds) peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
 ¼ cup sugar
 1 tsp grated león zest
 ½ tsp ground nutmeg
 ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
 1 ¼ cups flour
 ¼ tsp salt
 ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
 3 tbsp ice water
 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1

Put flour and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form.

2

With the motor running, pour the water and lemon juice through the feed tube and process just until dough leaves the side of bowl.

3

Gather the dough into a ball, then place on a sheet of waxed paper and flatten into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until firm.

4

Heat oven to 425 degrees F.

5

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

6

Sprinkle a work surface with flour. Roll dough with a floured rolling pin to a 13-in round (it does not matter if the edges are uneven). Drape dough over rolling pin and transfer to baking sheet.

7

Working from the outside to the center, arrange apple slices in overlapping concentric circles, leaving a 2-inch border.

8

In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, zest, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture over apples.

9

Fold edges of pastry in to partially cover apples.

10

Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until apples are tender and pastry is golden, about 30 minutes.

11

Cool on baking sheet on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
