Directions
Start by peeling your apples, cutting them in half and removing the core. Then cut the halved apples into smaller slices. Try to cut them as thinly as possible, but still in the same thickness, so that the end result is nice and doesn't fall apart.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar and a pinch of salt and stir. Cook the mixture until it becomes a golden brown caramel.
When the caramel is set, add the apple slices and stir gently so that the apples come into contact with the caramel from all sides. Over a medium heat, allow the apples to soften - about 15-20 minutes. Be careful not to let the apples fall apart!
While the apples are softening, preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
When the apples are soft, remove the pan from the heat and place the pasta base on top. Press the pasta down around the edges of the pan so that the apples are fully inserted.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
When the dough is nice and golden brown, remove the pan from the oven and turn the pan out with a large bowl - be careful, it will be very hot!
