Ingredients

For the dough

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons very cold butter cut into small pieces
  • ¼ cup cold water

For the galette

  • 3 cups thinly sliced apples I prefer honeycrisp apples
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter but into small pieces
  • 1 large egg lighly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 3 tablespoons salted caramel sauce

Instructions

  • Heat the oven. Preheat the oven to  400°F. 
  • Make the dough. Add the flour, sugar and salt to a food processer fitted with a standard blade.  Pulse 2-3 times. Add the butter and pulse again 5-6 times until a small meal forms. With the motor running slowly add the water and process until a ball forms.  
  • Chill the dough. Remove the dough from the food processor and press into a thick round, about 1 ½ inches thick, with the palm of your hand. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes.  
  • Make the apple filling. While the dough is chilling Combine the sliced apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and lemon juice in a mixing bowl.  Stir until the apple slices are thoroughly coated.  
  • Roll the dough. Place the chilled dough on a large piece of parchment paper (just slightly smaller than your baking sheet). Roll the dough out into a somewhat circular shape until the dough is about ¼ inch thick. Transfer the rolled dough to the baking sheet. 
  • Assemble the galette. Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a border about 3 inches wide. Fold the edges over the apple mixture, pleating as needed. Combine the egg and water in a small bowl and brush the folded edges of the galette with the egg wash.  
  • Bake the galette. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.  Remove from oven and cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve.
