Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons ice water
  • 3-4 medium apples, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg, for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the ice water, stirring until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  4. In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Set aside to marinate.
  5. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
  7. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as necessary. Brush the edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
  9. Remove from the oven and drizzle with additional maple syrup before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Tip: For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the apple filling mixture.

For the best flavor, choose a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. Make sure to slice the apples thinly for even cooking. If you don’t have maple syrup, substitute with a brown sugar caramel.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore the crust’s crispiness. This galette pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or ice cream to elevate the dessert experience.
