Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 3 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 Egg, beaten (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Add chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough. Form it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch. Ensure the apples are well coated with the spices and cornstarch.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Carefully fold the edges over the apples, pleating as you go to create a rustic look.
If using, brush the exposed dough with beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your sugar-free rustic apple galette!
