Butter - 6 tablespoons
Green Apples - 10 lbs
Vanilla extract - ¾ teaspoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom.

Step 2

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut each into 8 wedges. Add a third of the apples to the skillet and sauté, stirring, until soft and caramelized, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully pour in 2 tablespoons of Calvados, stir, return to heat, and cook for another 30 seconds. Then stir in 3 tablespoons of cream and cook for another 2–3 minutes until thickened. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining apples.

Step 3

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle slightly larger than the pie dish. Cut a small circle in the center.

Step 4

Place the apples in a large round pie dish and cover with the dough. Press the edges.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 390°F.

Step 6

Mix the yolk with the remaining cream and brush over the pie. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Bake for 50–55 minutes until done. If the dough starts to burn, cover the dish with foil. Cool, and optionally sprinkle with cheese on top.

Step 8

Then you can make a few cuts in the dough and sprinkle with sugar and spices, brushing with the remaining egg mixture beforehand. Place under the broiler to caramelize for a few minutes.
