Rough Apple Galette Recipes

Steps:

• Make the pie dough: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix with fork.
• Add the butter and work into the flour with a fork until only pea-size lumps remain.
• Add the apple cider vinegar and mix into the dough with your fingers. Gradually add the ice water and mix with your hands until the dough starts to come together. Add more water as needed if the dough is dry. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky. Shape the dough into a rough ball and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the apple filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. Cook, stirring continuously, until the apples are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the butter and stir to incorporate. Remove the pan from the heat and let the filling cool.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a round that is about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick. Roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Spoon the apple filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border around the edges. Fold the edges over the apples. Brush the egg wash over the crust and sprinkle coarse sugar all over the galette.
• Bake the galette for 25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
• Meanwhile, make the caramel sauce: In a small pot, combine the sugar, salt, and butter. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns amber in color, 2-3 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally.
• Pour in the heavy cream and stir with wooden spoon. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Drizzle the caramel sauce over the galette, then slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Unfold the sheets of puff pastry and cut each sheet into quarters. Place the pastry pieces on the prepared sheet pans and refrigerate while you prepare the apples.
• Peel the apples and cut them in half through the stems. Remove the stems and cores with a sharp knife and a melon baler. Slice the apples crosswise in 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place overlapping slices of apples diagonally across each piece of pastry and place a slice of apple on each side. Sprinkle the full 3/4 cup of sugar over all the pastry pieces and dot with the butter.
• Bake for 40 minutes, until the pastry is browned and the edges of the apples start to brown. Rotate the pan once during cooking. If the pastry puffs up in one area, cut a little slit with a knife to let the air out. Don't worry! The apple juices will burn in the pan but the galettes will be fine! When the galettes are done, heat the apricot jelly together with the Calvados and brush the apples and pastry completely with the jelly mixture. Loosen the galettes with a metal spatula so they don't stick to the paper. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Pastry.
• Put the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
• Add the butter pieces and pinch with the fingers to create a crumb texture. Make a well in the middle, and pour in the vanilla and water.
• Quickly work in the flour to create dough.
• Do not over-mix.
• Pat into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F/230°C.
• Roll the pastry into a round and lay on a baking sheet.
• Filling.
• Roll the pastry into a round and lay on a baking sheet.
• Stir together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl.
• Toss in the apples to coat, and dump onto the pastry.
• Dot with the butter.
• Bring the edges of the pastry up over so they lay in, rough-edged, on the apples. They won't cover the apples completely.
• Bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the apples soft to a fork and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk 1 1/8 cups flour, white sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Press 1/2 cup butter pieces into flour mixture with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour water and vanilla into well; quickly work water and vanilla into flour to create a loose dough, adding more water if the dough is crumbly. You should be able to squeeze it in your hand and have it stay together but be a bit crumbly. Shape dough into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Stir brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add apples and toss to coat. Let sit for flavors to blend, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Roll dough out into a large, rough circle on a baking stone or baking sheet. Pour apple mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch uncovered border, and dot apples with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Fold edges of dough up over the apples, leaving an opening in the center. Dot dough with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle coarse sugar over the dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is crisp and golden and apples are tender and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Combine flour, sugar and kosher salt in a large bowl, and use your hands to mix well.
• Add the butter to the bowl, and use your palms and fingertips to smash the pieces into the flour until you've got large, flat butter pieces that are evenly distributed among the flour. Pop the bowl into the freezer for 5 or so minutes.
• Combine vinegar and 1/3 cup water, and drizzle over the flour-butter mixture. Like you're running your hands through sand, deliberately yet delicately mix the water into the flour/butter mixture. Resist the urge to add more water until you see that it's absolutely necessary, and even then, use only an additional tablespoon or two.
• Turn the dough out onto a work surface, and use your palms to knead it lightly until the shaggy ball transforms into a slightly-less shaggy ball of dough. (It should still be relatively shaggy.) Pat the dough into a disc about 1 inch thick, rotating it to create a nice circle. Wrap in plastic or place in a resealable plastic bag and chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove dough from refrigerator, and let it soften slightly at room temperature, about 10 minutes or so.
• As dough rests, make the filling: Combine apples, honey, 1/2 cup sugar, the flour, the vinegar and the cinnamon in a large bowl. Toss the ingredients so every slice of apple is evenly coated.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a circle about 18 inches in diameter. Transfer dough to a lightly greased 9-inch springform pan, or a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, letting it slump to meet the bottom of the pan and letting the overhang remain.
• Transfer the apple mixture and any juices that have accumulated to the crust. Drape the excess dough over the filling, covering the apples by about 1 1/2 to 2 inches. (Feel free to trim any dough that feels truly excessive.)
• Whisk the egg with a teaspoon of water and use it to brush the exposed crust. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using, the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and a little flaky salt.
• Place galette on a rimmed baking sheet (for easy cleanup should anything bubble over) and bake until the crust is deeply golden brown (about the color of a well-baked croissant), the apples are tender, and the juices are bubbling and thickened, 65 to 75 minutes.
• Remove galette from the oven and let cool completely (at least 2 hours) before slicing and eating, preferably with lots of ice cream.
