Ingredients
  

For the pastry dough:

  • 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • 3 –4 tablespoons ice water

For the apple filling:

  • 3 Honeycrisp apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour

For finishing:

  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar optional

Instructions  

 Make the pastry dough

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Add the chilled butter cubes and cut them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until you have pea sized crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, mixing just until the dough comes together.
  • Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the apple filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine apple slices, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour.
  • Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.

Assemble the galette

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Arrange the apple mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
  • Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, overlapping as you go.

 Bake

  • Brush the folded crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  • Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for a flakier crust.
  • Slice apples evenly so they bake uniformly.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar in the filling by 1 tablespoon.
