Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 3 pieces Medium apples
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 50 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the cold unsalted butter into cubes and add it to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together without being sticky.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.

Step 8

In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and lemon juice until evenly coated.

Step 9

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a roughly 12-inch circle.

Step 10

Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around.

Step 12

Fold the border of the dough over the filling, pleating it as you go to form an edge.

Step 13

In a small bowl, beat the egg, then brush the exposed crust with the egg wash.

Step 14

Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the egg-washed crust for additional texture and sweetness.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 16

Allow the galette to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 17

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
