Ingredients
6 Servings
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 4 apples
- 50 g brown sugar
- 15 g coarse sugar
- 1 egg
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 60 ml ice water
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 170 g unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough starts to come together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large circle about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Arrange the apple slices 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.
Step 7
Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Step 9
Allow the galette to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
