Pastry
8 ounces unbleached white flour about (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 ounces unsalted batter (10 tablespoons), cut into
1-inch pieces and chilled.

8 ounces granulated sugar (about 1 cup)
4 tablespoons water
2 ounces butter (4 tablespoons)
6 small tart apples, cored, peeled, and cut
into quarters or eighths.

Combine pastry ingredients to create a dough. Roll out dough to form circular pastry.
NOTE: A store-bought for pastry can be substituted for the dough.
Core apples, cut them into eighths.
