Rustic Apple Galette
This Rustic Apple Galette features tender, caramelized apples nestled in a buttery crust, creating a delightful contrast that’s both crispy and juicy. Perfect for showcasing the season’s best apples.
Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup ice water, plus more if needed
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 4 whole apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg beaten, for egg wash
- additional sugar, for sprinkling on top
Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, mixing just until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
In another bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to release juices.
On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
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.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes. The apples should be tender and the crust golden brown.
Let the galette cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with ice cream.
