In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add into the flour mixture.
Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Drizzle in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together. You may not need all the water.
Form the dough into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly.
In a medium bowl, combine apple slices, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until apples are evenly coated.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the dough circle to the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as necessary, to form a rustic edge.
If using, beat the egg and milk together to create an egg wash and brush it over the edges of the galette.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the galette to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Rustic Apple Galette warm or at room temperature.
