Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 1 premade pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
• 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
3. In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
4. Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the pie crust, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.
5. Fold the edges of the crust over the apples, pleating as you go to create a free-form rustic edge. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
7. Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Helpful Tips

• Variety of Apples: Use a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for a more complex flavor.
• Substitutions: If you don’t have lemon juice, apple cider vinegar can work as a substitute.
• Extra Texture: Add a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
