2/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed |

1-1/2 cups chopped peeled tart apples |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
topping: |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping, warmed |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add water and vanilla, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or until easy to handle. 2. Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 10-in. circle. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
