inches of dough. Fold unbuttered 3 inches of dough over half of
buttered dough. Fold remaining 3 inches of buttered dough over,
folding as for letter. Roll out to 12x18-inch rectangle. Fold short

Remove skillet from heat.

Arrange half of apples, rounded side down, in concentric circles in

tender, about 25 minutes. Uncover skillet. Increase heat to

Meanwhile, prehat oven to 400F. Cut dough in half. Let 1 piece stand
at room temperature until slightly softened, about 15 minutes.
(Freeze second piece of dough for another use.) Roll out dough to
12-inch-diameter round.

Place dough atop hot apples in skillet. Trim edge, leaving generous
1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang down tightly around apples. Cut
several slits in dough to allow steam to escape.

Bake tart until crust is golden, about 45 minutes. Let cool 5
minutes. Run small knife around edge of skillet to loosen tart. Place
large platter over skillet. Using oven mitts, grasp platter and
skillet and invert, letting tart settle onto platter. Carefully lift
off skillet. Place any apples still in skillet on tart. Cool
slightly; serve warm with ice cream, if desired.
