Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters Cold water
- 3 pieces Medium apples
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into cubes and add it to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together without being sticky.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a roughly 12-inch circle.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around.
Fold the border of the dough over the filling, pleating it as you go to form an edge.
In a small bowl, beat the egg, then brush the exposed crust with the egg wash.
Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the egg-washed crust for additional texture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the galette to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
