Instructions
Crust
- In a medium bowl whisk the flour, salt and granulated sugar together. Add in the cold cubed butter and cut in with a pastry cutter until there are pea sized pieces of butter.
- Slowly add the cold water and stir with a fork until the dough begins to come together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and use your hands to bring the dough together in a disk.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and set in the fridge to chill for at least 20 minutes while you prepare the filling.
Cup of Yum
Filling
- You can peel the apples if you wish or you can leave the peel on. Either way, core the apples and use a knife to cut the apples into thin, even slices. Place apple slices in a medium bowl, toss with the lemon juice and set aside.
- In a small bowl combine the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour the sugar mixture over the sliced apples and toss until coated evenly.
Assembly
- Preheat the oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Take the chilled dough out of the fridge and on a lightly floured surface, roll it out to a 10–12-inch circle.
- Arrange the apples in the center of the dough as you would like, leaving about 2 inches of dough around the edge. Fold the dough over the apples, pinching and pleating to create the free-form edge. This free-form edge is quite forgiving and you can pinch and tear pieces of dough to make it look how you would like.
- In a small bowl mix the egg yolk and water together with a fork to make the egg wash. Use a pastry brush to brush the crust with egg wash and then sprinkle it with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for about 35-40 minutes, until the crust is nice and golden. Allow the galette to fully cool. Before serving heat a tablespoon of apricot jam in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before brushing it across the top of the apples to give them a nice shine.
