1) Mix flour, butter and icing sugar in a bowl using two knives to cut the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs 2) Add in the egg yolks and vanilla extracts and mix well, then add iced water until the dough starts to come together 3) Shape the dough into a ball on a cool, flat, floured surface 4) Flatten dough into a disc and then wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes 5) Meanwhile, peel, core and slice the apples into as thin slices as possible 6) Mix sugar and ground cinnamon powder with sliced apples and let it rest for a while 7) Pre-heat oven to 180 deg cel 8) Once dough has chilled, roll pastry dough on a sheet of parchment paper until it has expanded to the size of the tart
mold (I used a rough
mold the size of a large pizza) 9) Leaving at least an inch of dough free, arrange apple slices by overlapping them slightly in the shape of a circle, starting from the outermost part of the circle, until you reach the
inside 10) Fold the edges of dough over the filling and then sprinkle the dough with a bit of sugar 11) Bake for
about 40 - 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft 12) Serve warm, with a side of whipped cream or ice cream (optional)
Be advised
about Sophie teether toys, there have been cases of
mold growing on the
inside, but this can be prevented by not submerging the toy in water during washing and diligently wiping the toy off when your baby is done with it.
Forget
about the STS model, which adds a couple of thousand to the price in exchange for body side
moldings, a slightly retuned suspension system and more wood on the
inside.
