Instructions

  • Add flour and cold butter in a large bowl and using your fingers press down the butter cubes in such a way that butter and flour are well combined.
  • Add brown sugar and salt to the mixture & mix well. Add a little cold water to it and just make sure the mixture forms a dough shape. Don’t knead it, just combine everything and freeze it for 30 minutes.
  • Cut apples into thin slices. Add sugar, salt & lemon juice to it and keep aside.
  • In a small pan, add butter and brown sugar. Cook it until you see the color of butter has changed to brown. Keep the flame low.
  • Once the butter cools down, add it to the apple slices and mix well.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a round shape about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick. Roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Now arrange the apple slices on the prepared sheet (shown in the image).
  • Freeze it for another 20-25 minutes. Take out the Galette, brush some egg wash on the side, and sprinkle coarse sugar.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Recipe notes:
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking. 
Be sure to refrigerate dough before rolling. Use extra flour to prevent sticking to rolling pin. 
Tips:
  • Use cold butter for the crust recipe.
  • Freeze the Galette for 20-25 minutes before baking.
  • Cook the butter on a very low flame, make sure it doesn’t get burnt.
