Favorite 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 oven to 400°F. Toast fennel seeds (if using) in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let cool, then finely grind in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Transfer to a medium bowl and add salt and 1/3 cup sugar. Toss with your hands to combine, then add apples and toss to coat. Add vinegar and vanilla; toss gently.
• Arrange apple mixture in the center of chilled dough (still on parchment on baking sheet) and spread out evenly, overlapping slices if desired and leaving a 3" border. Fold edges of dough up and over fruit, pleating as needed and being careful that folded edge of dough doesn't tear (if it does, patch with dough scraps and pinch to seal). Pour cream into a small bowl and brush all over dough. Sprinkle sugar evenly over dough.
• Place galette in oven and immediately reduce heat to 375°F. Bake, rotating halfway through, until crust is deep golden brown everywhere, apples are softened, and juices are bubbling, 45-50 minutes. Let galette cool 2 hours.
• Serve galette with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
