Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, 2 tbsp sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Rub cold butter into flour until it looks like breadcrumbs. Stir in egg yolk until dough comes together.
Step 3
Press dough into a parchment-lined sheet pan in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Step 4
Toss apple slices with lemon juice, remaining sugar, and cinnamon. Layer over dough, overlapping slightly.
Step 5
Bake 12–14 minutes until crust edges are golden and apples begin to soften.
Step 6
Brush warm apricot jam over the top. Cool 2 minutes, slice, and serve.
