Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 recipe for all-butter pie crust (or 1 store-bought crust)
  • 6 medium apples (like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
  • Optional: Caramel drizzle or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. If making the crust from scratch, prepare the dough and chill it according to your recipe. If using store-bought, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour until the apples are evenly coated.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough into a rough 12-inch circle. It does not need to be perfect; rustic is the goal.
  5. Carefully transfer the dough circle to the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Mound the apples slightly in the center.
  7. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the apples, overlapping the dough slightly to create a free-form crust around the filling.
  8. Brush the folded crust edges with the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle the crust generously with coarse sugar.
  9. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
  10. Let the galette cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a caramel drizzle.
