Description
A simple, rustic apple galette with a flaky crust and sweet, spiced apple filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3–4 tablespoons ice water
- 3 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.
- Toss apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Arrange slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Fold edges of dough over the apples, pleating as needed. Brush dough with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and apples are tender. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for balanced flavor.
- Chill dough before rolling to prevent sticking.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
