Method
- 1
Dough. whisk the flour, sugar and salt in the large bowl. Toss in the butter, then flatten each cube once between your fingers. Flattened butter pieces make long flaky layers.
- 2
Water. drizzle 60 ml iced water over and keep raking it through with your fingers until shaggy. Knead briefly into a ball with no dry patches, adding up to 2 tbsp more water if needed. Wrap as a 2.5 cm thick disc and chill 2 h (or up to 3 days).
- 3
Roll. on a floured surface roll to a 35 cm round and lift it onto the paper-lined tray. Keep it in the fridge while you make the rest.
- 4
Sesame spread. whisk the tahini, sugar, soft butter, egg and salt until smooth.
- 5
Apples. heat the oven to 190 °C (170 °C fan) with a shelf low down. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples, then toss with the lemon juice, 40 g of the sugar and the cardamom until the sugar dissolves.
- 6
Assemble. spread the tahini mix over the pastry, leaving 5 cm bare. Arrange the apples on top, fold the edge over, brush the pastry with cream and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and remaining 10 g sugar.
- 7
Bake. 40-50 min on the low shelf, turning once, until deep golden and the apples are tender. Cool 20 min before slicing. The low shelf helps the base crisp.
