Directions
Cut the cold butter into the flour, sprinkle on 14 cup ice water and stir with a fork. Add more ice water if needed to make pastry, do not over work or touch with warm hands. Pat into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill in fridge for an hour.

Put 2 tablespoons butter and 6 tablespoons sugar in a 9 inch cast iron fry pan over medium high heat, and watch carefully, stirring with a wooden spoon, to make a brown caramel. Remove from heat and the residual heat in the pan will ensure a dark caramel.
Place the apple sections in pattern on the caramel. making layers as needed. Sprinkle remaining sugar over the apples.

Eat it warm with cream and enjoy.
