Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 medium apples, peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 egg, beaten for egg wash

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. In another bowl, toss sliced apples with maple syrup, bourbon, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until well coated.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. 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.
7. In a small bowl, combine chopped nuts and brown sugar. Sprinkle over the apples.
8. Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

Store leftover galette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

For the best flavor, use a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. If you don’t have bourbon, you can substitute it with apple cider or vanilla extract.

Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out to ensure a flaky crust. This galette can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
