Dough: Cut the butter into small cubes. Place it in a mixing bowl and add the flour, then mash the butter and flour with a fork. Add the salt and sugar, then the ice water and knead well. If the dough is still too dry, add more ice water if necessary. Knead everything together to form a dough, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Filling: Peel and chop the apples. Add the sugar, brown sugar, nutmeg, salt and vanilla extract and mix. Roll out about 3/4 of the dough thinly with a rolling pin. Using a small bowl slightly larger than the muffin tin, cut out circles. Place these in the muffin tin and pierce the base a few times with a fork. Pour the filling into the tin. Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern on top of the filling. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 40 minutes until golden brown. They taste best served warm with a delicious vanilla sauce.
