Rustic apple galette

AT YOUR PACE, STEP BY STEP

Let’s get baking

1. 01

   Mix the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Rub in the butter to form crumbs with small butter pieces. Add 50 ml water and bring together, using the rest only if dry patches remain. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. 02

   Slice the apples 3 mm thick. Mix with the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice just before filling.

3. 03

   Roll the pastry on parchment into a circle approximately 32 cm across. Transfer the paper and pastry to a baking sheet.

4. 04

   Arrange the apples in the center, leaving a 4 cm border. Fold the border over the fruit in pleats. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

5. 05

   Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Bake on a lower-middle rack for 35 to 40 minutes, until the base is firm, the edges are golden, and the fruit is tender.

6. 06

   Cool for 30 minutes before cutting into 8 slices. Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and briefly reheat in the oven to restore the texture.

Times are approximate and vary with your oven. Use oven mitts and check doneness before serving.
