In another bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to release juices.
- Step 4: Roll out Dough
On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 5: Assemble the Galette
Place the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as necessary.

Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with additional sugar. This will help achieve a golden finish.
- Step 7: Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes. The apples should be tender and the crust golden brown.
- Step 8: Cool and Serve
Let the galette cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with ice cream.
