Instructions
For the Pie Dough:
- In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse a few times just to break the pieces down a bit.
- While pulsing, drizzle in 4 tablespoons of ice water. Pulse until dough starts to clump together. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead together to form a ball. Shape into a disk and tightly wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
For the Apple Filling:
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into ⅛-inch thick slices. Place in a large bowl. Toss with lemon juice until well coated.
- Sprinkle apples with sugar and cinnamon and toss until combined.
For the Assembly:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll pie dough into roughly a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the lined baking sheet (the dough will likely hang over the edges.) Arrange the apple filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border. Drizzle the apples with melted butter.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling towards the center. (The dough will not fully cover the filling). Brush the dough with egg and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- To save time: You can use store-bought pie dough instead of making galette dough from scratch.
- Weigh the flour. This is the easiest way to avoid using too much flour, which will yield a dry, crumbly crust. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, fluff your flour with a spoon in its container, spoon it into your measuring cup, and use a knife to level it off.
- If you don’t have a food processor: Make the dough by hand using a pastry cutter or your hands. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter and work it into the flour until the mixture is very crumbly. Stir in the water with a fork and gently knead the dough into one large mass. Wrap and chill as directed.
- If the chilled pie crust dough starts to tear and crack when you’re rolling it out, let it rest for a few minutes at room temperature before trying to roll it again.
- Peel the apples. While not completely necessary, peeling the apples before slicing them makes a world of difference to the texture of the filling once the apples bake. The peels tend to become wrinkly and rubbery in the oven, which I prefer to avoid.
- For more caramel or molasses notes: Use light brown sugar in the filling in place of granulated sugar.
- Don’t overfill the crust. Lay the apple slices out in an even layer. If there is too much apple filling, the crust may not bake properly and become soggy, and the filling may bubble over.
- Refrigerate the galette once you assemble it: This optional step helps the butter in the pastry dough firm up so that the galette holds its shape nicely and the crust is flaky when baked. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before baking.
