Apple Galette Recipe

Serves about 8

Ingredients

• 1 Pie Crust (I prefer store-bought for this easy dessert)
• 4 Small Apples (I like Honeycrisp but any will work)
• 2 Tablespoons Sugar
• 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
• 2 Teaspoons Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Cold Butter cubed
• 1 Egg (for egg wash)
• Extra Sugar For Sprinkling (I prefer raw, but brown also works)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. On a piece of parchment paper, roll out your pie crust into a circle, no need to be precise, the beauty of the galette is its’ rustic-ness. Place the parchment with the pie crust on a baking sheet.
3. Peel, core, and thinly slice your apples.
4. In a medium bowl whisk sugar, cinnamon, and flour.
5. Take a handful of apple slices and fan them out on the pie crust. Make sure to leave about a 2” border all the way around, this will be the flap you will fold over for the crust.
6. Once all the apples are arranged, or the pie crust is full (up to that 2” border), sprinkle the dry ingredients on top.
7. Next, take your butter cubes and place them evenly on top of the apples.
8. Now we are ready to fold! Start with a 2-3” section of the border and fold it towards the center (it will overlap the apples), continue this around the entire border, overlapping each section with the sections next to it until the round galette is now more like a hexagon. Don’t worry if it isn’t perfect, that is the beauty of the galette.
9. In a small bowl whisk the egg. With a pastry brush (or whatever you have on hand, maybe even your hands?!) brush the top of the crust with the egg wash and then finish by sprinkling with the extra sugar.
10. Place the galette in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, rotating halfway through. If at any point the crust begins to burn, take some tin foil and make a tent over the galette.
11. Serve the galette warm (or cold from the fridge tomorrow morning), it is extra delicious when paired with vanilla ice cream.
