Ingredients:

Crust:

• 3 cups all purpose flour

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 tsp kosher salt

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (frozen but cut in small cubes)

• 1/2 cup ice water

Filling:

• 5 apples

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar

• 3 tbsp flour

Egg Wash & Topping:

• 1 egg

• 2 tbsp heavy cream

• 2 tbsp course sugar

Directions:

Preheat Oven : 350 F Bake: 35 - 45 mins

1 ) Crust: In a food processor combine the flour, sugar, salt and frozen cubed butter. Pulse until butter is pea size. Transfer into a large mixing bowl and add the ice water. Using a fork mix the dough until moisture is dispersed. Continue mixing using your hands. Add additional tablespoons of ice water if needed. Mix just until it comes together into a mound. Then separate into 3 equal balls. Wrap each individual dough ball in clear wrap. Press down the dough flatting them into rounds. Continue shaping the sides of the dough into disks until almost all the cracks are gone. This will make it easier to rollout. While shapeing don’t overwork the dough. Store dough in refrigerator overnight or at least a couple hours to chill.

2 ) When dough is properly cooled. Roll it out into about 10 inch rounds. Then set aside into the refrigerator. Filling: Meanwhile peel and cut apples as desired into large bowl. Toss them well with lemon juice. Next add in the flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix just until combined.

3 ) On a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Transfer the cut Apples onto the middle of the dough rounds and fold over the sides of the dough about 1 1/2 inches to make a crust. Topping: Whisk the egg and cream to make a wash. Brush the sides of the crusts with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar to coat the wash. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes at 350 f or until crust is golden brown. Let galettes cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite vanilla ice cream or simply sprinkled with powdered sugar!
