THE DOUGH:

2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 lb. butter, cut into pieces
1/4 c. cold water

Combine 2 cups flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Cut the butter into the flour. Add water and blend together, gathering into a ball. Cover with a towel to rest.

APPLE FILLING:

1 c. sugar
3 oz. butter
8 Granny Smith apples
1 tbsp. cinnamon

Peel and core the apples and cut them into slices. Spread one half the butter in a 10-inch skillet. Place the apples in the skillet overlapping each other. Sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon on top. Repeat in same manner until all the ingredients are used up. Dot with the remaining butter.

Roll the dough into the size of the skillet and place it over the apples. Prick the dough slightly to let steam escape. Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees. Let cool for 5 minutes and turn it out on a platter. Serve immediately with a scoop of ice cream.
