Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
To make the crust, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Add solid coconut oil and using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
Drizzle in cold water, a little at a time, tossing the mixture with a fork until dough holds together when pinched.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
In a separate bowl, combine sliced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Mix well to coat the apples.
Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border around the edges.
Fold the edges over the apples, pleating as necessary to create a rustic border.
Brush the crust with almond milk and sprinkle with optional turbinado sugar for extra crunch and sweetness.
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
