step 1
Squeeze juice from Lemon (1/2). You will need 1 teaspoon.
step 2
Gently combine Granny Smith Apples (3), Brown Sugar (1 Tbsp), Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1 tsp), 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and All-Purpose Flour (1 Tbsp). Set aside.
step 3
In a large bowl combine All-Purpose Flour (1 1/2 cups), Granulated Sugar (2 Tbsp), and Salt (1/4 tsp).
step 4
Using a pastry cutter or your hands, combine Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup) into the flour just until the mixture is coarsely combined and pea-sized.
step 5
Sprinkle Water (2 Tbsp) and cold Apple Brandy (2 Tbsp) over the dough, then use a rubber spatula to fold the dough until it holds together.
step 6
Shape the dough into an 8-inch wide disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an hour (or up to 2 days).
step 7
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
step 8
In a heavy saucepan, combine Maple Syrup (4 Tbsp), Granulated Sugar (4 Tbsp), and Water (2 Tbsp).
step 9
Cook over medium heat, until the water has cooked out and the mixture reaches a deep amber color (5 to 10 minutes), being careful not to stir the pan, just swirling occasionally.
step 10
When it reaches your desired level or darkness, slowly stir in the Heavy Cream (4 Tbsp) then Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp).
step 11
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before adding Sea Salt Flakes (1/4 tsp). Set aside until ready to use.
step 12
On a flour surface, roll dough into about a 12 inch circle, then transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
step 13
Sprinkle clumps of Almond Paste (2 Tbsp) over the dough, leaving 2 inches around the outside free for folding.
step 14
Arrange apples (not their juices) on top, trying to arrange them as flat as possible.
step 15
Fold free dough over the apples.
step 16
Beat the Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Egg (1) in a small bowl.
step 17
Brush beaten egg over the dough and sprinkle it with some sugar, then throw some Butter (to taste) over the apples.

Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Drizzle with the caramel sauce and serve warm.
