Preparation
Step 1
You can use any kind of apples, but sweet-and-tart varieties work best. Sift the flour through a sieve to aerate it.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt, then add the chopped butter. Rub the butter into the flour with your hands until you get a crumbly texture.
Step 3
Pour in cold water and knead the dough. You may need more or less flour - focus on the texture. The dough should be soft and not sticky. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare the apple filling. Peel the apples, remove the cores, and slice them thinly.
Step 5
Roll out the chilled dough on parchment paper into a thin round about ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thick. Arrange the sliced apples evenly across the dough, leaving the edges uncovered. You can also add raisins, cherries, or raspberries for a different flavor.
Step 6
Fold the dough edges over the apples and gently press down. You can seal the edges with a fork. Sprinkle sugar over the apples and top with a few pieces of butter. Bake the galette in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 40-45 minutes. Adjust the time based on your oven.
Step 7
When the galette is lightly browned and the apples are soft, remove it from the oven and brush the hot surface with apricot jam for a beautiful caramel glaze.
Step 8
The delicious apple galette is ready! Enjoy your treat!
