Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon sugar

1/4 cup ice water, plus more if necessary

1/2 Juice of a lemon
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup apricot jelly

1
For pastry:
3
Pulse a couple of times until flour mixture is combined.
4
Add the diced butter and pulse until mixture has texture of coarse corn meal.
5
Slowly drizzle in ¼ cup of iced water while processor is on pulse.
6

9
In the meantime, slice the apples into half moons.
11
After an hour, pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
12
Remove the dough from refrigerator and roll out into a rectangle approximately ¼ inch thick. Make sure your surface is covered in enough flour as you do not want your dough to stick.
13
Once rolled out, move the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and place on a cookie sheet.
14
Starting from the corner of the dough, make a row of apples on the diagonal.
15
Cover the rest of the dough with apples on the diagonal.
16
Sprinkle the apples with ¼ cup of sugar.

18
Remove from oven and brush with apricot jelly.
