Transfer the apple mixture to a large skillet or sauté pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until the apples have softened and the liquid has reduced to a syrupy, caramelized consistency. This step brings out the natural sweetness of the apples. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Carefully unroll the phyllo dough. Take one sheet of phyllo, lay it flat, and generously brush it with melted Ronnybrook Ronnybrook Unsalted French Roll butter. Sprinkle evenly with about 1 teaspoon of organic granulated sugar. This creates layers of flaky, sweet goodness.

Loosely scrunch or ruffle the buttered and sugared phyllo sheet and place it into the prepared springform pan. Repeat this process with approximately 8-10 more phyllo sheets, arranging them to cover the bottom and extend up the sides of the pan, creating a crinkled base and edge. Don't worry about perfection; the ruffles add to the charm and texture of this rustic tart.

Spoon the cooled apple filling into the center of the phyllo-lined pan, mounding it slightly. Ensure an even distribution for every delicious bite.

Take the remaining phyllo sheets, one at a time. Brush each sheet generously with melted Ronnybrook Ronnybrook Unsalted French Roll butter and sprinkle with organic granulated sugar, just as before. Loosely scrunch or ruffle each sheet and arrange them on top of the apple filling, building height and creating a dramatic, golden crown effect. Ensure the apples are mostly covered.

Place the springform pan on the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the phyllo pastry is deeply golden brown, audibly crisp, and the apples are tender. The aroma will fill your kitchen!
