Ingredients

PIE CRUST
1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut in small cubes
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons chilled ice water
APPLE FILLING
2 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4 inch thick slices
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 - egg
1 tablespoon cold water

How To Make apple galette

Step 1

To make the crust, combine butter, flour, and salt. Using a pastry blender cut in the butter until very crumbly. Add chilled water a few tablespoons at a time mixing with a fork until the dough pulls together. Press into a 5 inch circle. Cover in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.

Step 2

To make the filling, combine apples and lemon juice in a large bowl. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cornstarch. Stir to combine.
Step 3

Gently roll the piecrust out to a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Trim the rough edges with a pizza cutter or leave them for a more rustic look. Carefully move the pie crust to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Spoon the apples into the center of the pie crust and bring up the edges tucking it in and folding it along the way.
Step 4

Whisk together the egg and water. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the top and sides of the pastry dough with the egg wash. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
