2 Granny Smith apples
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Sprinkle of nutmeg

Layer apple filling over the crust and top with streusel. Bake for 30–40 minutes until the topping is golden brown, then cool. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle on sea salt for the finishing touch.
