Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Dust a flat surface with flour and roll out the dough into a square with sides of about 27 cm — so that you can then cut out a circle with a diameter of 25 cm using a sharp knife. Shake off any excess flour from the dough and transfer it onto parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the apples, cut them into quarters, and remove the cores.
Step 3
Generously grease a cast iron skillet and evenly sprinkle with sugar. Arrange as many apple quarters as possible on top in concentric circles.
Step 4
Place the skillet over medium heat and, without disturbing the apples, cook for eighteen to twenty-five minutes, until the juice released from the apples turns into a bubbling brown liquid.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 430°F and place the skillet inside for twenty minutes. When the apples are baked and have slightly settled, cover them with dough and bake for another twenty to twenty-five minutes. Allow the skillet to cool for at least ten minutes.
Step 6
Before serving, place a large plate on top of the dough and flip the contents of the skillet onto it. Drizzle with the remaining caramel from the skillet and serve.
