Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup brown sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon coarse sugar crystals

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 1/8 cups flour, white sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Press 1/2 cup butter pieces into flour mixture with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour water and vanilla into well; quickly work water and vanilla into flour to create a loose dough, adding more water if the dough is crumbly. You should be able to squeeze it in your hand and have it stay together but be a bit crumbly. Shape dough into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Stir brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add apples and toss to coat. Let sit for flavors to blend, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Roll dough out into a large, rough circle on a baking stone or baking sheet. Pour apple mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch uncovered border, and dot apples with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Fold edges of dough up over the apples, leaving an opening in the center. Dot dough with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle coarse sugar over the dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is crisp and golden and apples are tender and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons (or more) ice water
1 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1/4 cup apricot preserves
Whole milk

Steps:

  • Blend flour and salt in processor. Add butter and blend, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and blend just until dough begins to clump together, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep dough chilled. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.
  • Roll out dough between sheets of parchment paper to 1/8-inch-thick round, 14 inches in diameter. Remove top sheet of parchment. Using bottom sheet as aid, transfer dough on parchment to large unrimmed baking sheet. Chill 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine apple slices, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon peel in medium bowl; toss to blend. Spread preserves over crust, leaving 1 1/2-inch plain border. Arrange apple slices in concentric circles atop preserves, overlapping slightly. Using parchment as aid, fold plain crust border up over apples, pinching any cracks in crust. Brush crust with milk. Sprinkle crust edges and apples with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • Bake galette 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking until crust is golden, about 30 minutes longer. Remove from oven. Slide long thin knife between parchment and galette. Let stand at least 10 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Pastry dough
2 tablespoons semolina (sometimes called semolina flour)
2 pounds Golden Delicious apples (about 4), peeled, cored, and each cut into 8 wedges
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons confectioners sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Roll out dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Transfer to an ungreased 17- by 14-inch baking sheet. Sprinkle semolina over dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around.
  • Toss apples with lemon juice and zest in a large bowl, then mound on top of semolina (leaving border) and sprinkle granulated sugar over apples. Fold in dough border over apples, pleating dough as necessary, to form a 9-inch round.
  • Bake galette 30 minutes, then loosely cover with foil and bake until apples are tender and crust is golden, 25 to 30 minutes more. Remove galette from oven and turn on broiler.
  • Dust apples with confectioners sugar and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat until apples are just golden, 1 to 3 minutes (watch carefully; sugar burns easily). Slide galette from baking sheet onto a rack, then cool to warm or room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your galette a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the galette. Leave some space between the apples so that they can cook properly.
  • Use a good quality pastry dough. This will make your galette more flaky and delicious.
  • Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Conclusion:

Apple galette is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust and sweet, tender apples, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this apple galette recipe a try.
