Favorite Apple Galette image

If you love pie, and your favorite part is the pastry, look no further. This pie will sure to be a new family favorite. This pastry dough is almost like a shortbread. It would also go well with pears or peaches. You don't even necessarily have to peel the apples!

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.
