Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together 1 ⅛ cups of flour, white sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined. Use your fingers to press ½ cup of butter pieces into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Pour water and vanilla extract into the well. Quickly incorporate the mixture to form a loose dough, adding more water if needed. The dough should hold together when squeezed but still be a bit crumbly. Shape the dough into a flat disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, and cinnamon. Add the apples and toss to coat. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
On a baking stone or baking sheet, roll the dough into a large, rustic circle. Arrange the apple mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch border uncovered. Dot the apple mixture with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, leaving a space in the center. Dot the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and sprinkle it with coarse sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and the apples are tender and caramelized.
