Equipment

  • kitchen scale optional
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • large mixing bowl
  • food processor
  • spatula
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 180 grams all purpose flour approx 1 ½ cups
  • 10 tablespoon cold butter salted
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 6-7 tablespoon ice water

For the Filling/Galette

  • 2-3 medium apples sliced into ¼" slices
  • 50 grams brown sugar approx ¼ cup
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 large egg whisked
  • 2 tablespoon demerara sugar optional; to top galette crust

Instructions
 

For the Dough

  • In a food processor, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt to combine.
  • Add the cold butter pieces, and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with some pea-size pieces.
  • Sprinkle with 6 tablespoons of the water, and pulse until the dough comes together. If the dough seems too dry, add more water by the tablespoon, and knead until the dough comes together and is soft, smooth, and not crumbly.
  • Form the dough into a large ball and wrap the dough in cling wrap.  Press down into a thick disk and set in the fridge and chill for up to 60 minutes.
  • Twenty minutes before you remove the dough from the fridge, preheat the oven to 400º.
  • Take the dough out from the fridge and lay on a flour-dusted surface. Roll out the dough until approximately 11” in diameter and approximately ¼” thick.

For the Filling/Galette

  • Slice the apples ¼" thin and place into the center of the rolled out dough.Sprinkle the apples with a dusting of cinnamon and some brown sugar.Fold the outer edges of the dough inward, forming a crust by overlapping each fold. Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle the granulated sugar on top. Bake for 30 minutes.
