Analyzing cooking steps...
Use cold butter for the dough to ensure a flaky crust.
Choose firm apples (like Pink Lady or Granny Smith) that won't turn into mush during the long caramelization process.
Watch the caramel closely; it should be dark amber for flavor but can burn quickly.
Packing the apples tightly is important as they shrink during baking.
Heating the pan before flipping is a critical trick to ensure the apples stay on the tart rather than sticking to the pan.
