Honey Apple Galette (Printer-Friendly)

Flaky crust meets tender honey-sweetened apples for a delightful autumn dessert.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
05 - 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

→ Filling

06 - 3 medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
07 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
08 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 - 2 tablespoons honey
11 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

→ Finishing

12 - 1 large egg, beaten
13 - 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
14 - 1 to 2 teaspoons honey, warmed

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
02 - Toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, honey, and lemon juice until evenly coated and glossy.
03 - Lightly flour a work surface. Roll the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Carefully transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 - Pile the apple filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the dough edges up over the apples, pleating as you go and leaving the center exposed. Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
05 - Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
06 - Allow to cool slightly. Dust the crust with powdered sugar. Warm the honey and drizzle generously over the apples before serving to add shine and enhance flavor.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Keep butter and ice water very cold to ensure a flaky crust. Use evenly thin apple slices approximately 1/8 inch thick for uniform baking and tender texture.
02 - Rustic folds in the dough encourage even baking and a beautifully golden crisp crust.
03 - Pre-warm honey before drizzling for a glossy finish that enhances flavor without tearing the delicate baked apples.
04 - Baking on a preheated baking stone will produce an extra-crisp crust base.
