Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1/4 cup ice water
3-4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in ice water until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In another bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and cornstarch until well coated.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as necessary.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
While the galette bakes, prepare maple whipped cream by beating heavy cream with maple syrup until soft peaks form.
Allow the galette to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with maple whipped cream on the side.

Notes

Tip: For a golden crust, brush the edges with an egg wash before baking. This will give the galette a beautiful sheen!

For the best flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. Make sure to slice the apples thinly for even cooking.

If you have leftover galette, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain its crispiness.

Feel free to experiment with spices! Nutmeg or cardamom can be wonderful additions to the apple filling. Enjoy this dessert as a perfect ending to a Thanksgiving feast or a cozy weekend dinner.
