  3. Then take it out of the fridge, place it on a sheet of baking paper and roll it into a 1.5 cm thick round shape. Put the dough into a round 23 to 25 cm springform pan and press it down. Make sure that you have at least 3 cm of extra dough at the sides.

  4. In the meantime, peel the apples, cut them in quarters, remove the core and slice each quarter in 4 or 5 pieces. Place the apple slices on top of the dough. Make sure to put them all in the same way and go round and round. Press the sides of the dough onto the apples to make a nice border.
