For the filling, in a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the
apples, onion, garlic and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the
apples are golden, about 15 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll out
the dough to a 12x16 -inch rectangle. Transfer to a baking sheet. Spoon the
filling onto the shell to within 1 1/2-inches of the edges. Fold the edges
over the filling to form a border.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
