  • whisk 1 1/8 cups flour, white sugar, and salt together in a bowl. press 1/2 cup butter pieces into flour mixture with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • make a well in the center of the flour mixture. pour water and vanilla into well; quickly work water and vanilla into flour to create a loose dough, adding more water if the dough is crumbly. you should be able to squeeze it in your hand and have it stay together but be a bit crumbly. shape dough into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • stir brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl. add apples and toss to coat. let sit for flavors to blend, about 10 minutes.
  • preheat oven to 450 degrees f (230 degrees c).
  • roll dough out into a large, rough circle on a baking stone or baking sheet. pour apple mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch uncovered border, and dot apples with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • fold edges of dough up over the apples, leaving an opening in the center. dot dough with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle coarse sugar over the dough.
  • bake in the preheated oven until the crust is crisp and golden and apples are tender and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes.
