Steps:
- Gently with your fingertips mix the flour, salt and finely-diced butter. The texture should become like sand. Tip: As much as possible try to avoid having your skin in contact with the butter - therefore quickly pour the flour around the butter - and avoid mixing too long with your fingers otherwise the butter will melt.
- Add the water and the egg yolk. Mix them in, again with your fingertips, until you have a smooth uniform mixture. You can also do this with your mixer (with the leaf utensil).
- Knead the dough twice (Put the dough on a floured surface, crush it with the palm of your hand and reshape a ball. This process aerates the dough so it will not shrink in the oven). Cover with plastic wrap and leave it in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
- Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into quarters.
- Prepare the caramel. In a pan that can go on your stove or in a pan, place sugar and cubed butter. Melt. When you get a nice caramelized colour, stop the heat (if in a pan, pour in tour tin).
- Arrange the apples neatly on the caramel (the round part facing the caramel). You can fill gaps with small pieces of the remaining apples. Number of apples depend on the size of your pan, be sure it is generously garnished with apples.
- Take the pie crust out of the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature for a few minutes so that it won't be too cold. Lay it out on a clean, floured surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin to stretch it to a circle of the correct size (1 cm bigger than you pan).
- Put it on top of the apples, with a spatula, tuck the edges of the pastry into the pan, between pan and apples.
- Bake for 1 hour at 160°C (320°F).
- Unmold right out of the oven. Place a plate on top of the mold, flip and unmold. Doing this when still hot will prevent the caramel from hardening.
CARAMELISED UPSIDE-DOWN APPLE TART - TARTE TATIN
Two French impoverished French women earned their living by baking their father's favourite tart now known as Tarte Tatin. The apples in this tart are cooked in the caramel so that the flavours are deep inside the fruit. You will need a deep heavy 23-25 metal handled pan

Steps:
- Make a well in the centre of the flour. Put the egg yolks, sugar and a pinch of salt in the centre of the well, then add the butter and the water. Mix with your fingertips until the crumb stage. Use more water at your discretion. The dough must be very smooth. Shape into a ball and chill until firm.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan.When it starts to sizzle add the sugar all at once. Cook over medium heat, stirring now and then with a wooden spoon until caramelised to a deep golden brown. Cook gently once it starts to colour because it burns easily. This will take about 3 - 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until tepid.
- Arrange the apple halves upright in concentric circles to fill the pan. The apples will shrink during cooking so pack it in tightly. Cook the apples over high heat until caramelised, 15 - 25 minutes. Turn the apples over to caramelise on both sides - use a fork. Remove the pan from heat and let cool 10 - 15 minutes.
- Roll out the pastry into a round 2.5 cm larger than the frying pan. Roll up the dough around the rolling pin and transfer to the pan. Drape the dough over the pan. Tuck the edges of the dough down around the apples. Bake the tart in the heated oven until the crust is golden brown. 20 - 25 minutes.
- Let the tart cool until tepid in the pan then unmould it. Set a serving plate on top of the pan, hold firmly together and invert the two. If the apples stick to the pan, remove and replace on the tart. If any caramel remains, use it on the apples.
- Serve with creme fraiche.
