Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g All-purpose flour
- 115 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 100 g Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 60 ml Cold water
- 3 medium Apples (like Granny Smith, thinly sliced)
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp Milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix just until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the apple filling. In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the apple slices in the center of the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 2-inch (5 cm) border.
Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as you go to create a rustic crust.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make the egg wash. Brush this mixture over the crust.
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Let the galette cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
