Ingredients
 

Crust

  • ½ recipe All Butter Pastry Crust (one single pie crust)
  • 1 tbsp milk (for brushing onto the dough before baking)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for sprinkling onto the dough before baking)

Filling

  • 3 large Honey Crisp apples (1 1/2 pounds)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • tsp ground cardamom
  • tsp ground cinnamon
  • tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Prepare the pie dough as instructed. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  • Save the extra tablespoon of milk and sugar for when you assemble the galette.

Filling

  • Peel the apples and cut them in half. Cut out the apple cores, keeping the halves intact, so that you have 6 apple halves. Thinly slice the apples, about 1/8 inch thick.
  • In a bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour and spices.
  • Add the apple slices and the vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and toss to combine.

Assemble and Bake

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough to about 11 inches in diameter, and place the dough on the paper.
  • Arrange the apple slices any way you like over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2 inch border of dough around the edge. Dot the apples with the cubes of butter.
  • Fold up the edges of the dough, so that it covers the apples around the edges by about 1 1/2 inches, with the center open.
  • Brush the edge of the pie dough with the 1 tablespoon of milk, using it to help seal the creases of dough together. Sprinkle the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Place the galette in the refrigerator to chill while you preheat the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 F, and position a rack in the center of the oven. Bake the galette for about 50-55 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the apples are soft and the filling is bubbling slightly and thickened.
  • Cool the galette for 20-30 minutes, then serve warm, or at room temperature.

Notes

Store the galette, loosely covered, at room temperature for up to 1 day, or refrigerated for up to 3 days.
To reheat, warm the galette in a toaster oven for several minutes until warm.
