This Rustic Apple Galette is the perfect fall dessert—easy, beautiful, and packed with warm spiced apples wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust. A stress-free alternative to apple pie, ready to impress without the fuss.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, very cold, cut into cubes
  • 3–4 tbsp ice water
  • 3–4 firm baking apples (like Granny Smith), thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp half & half
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam or jelly

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water just until dough forms. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.
  2. Peel, core, and slice apples thinly. Toss with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and half & half. Let rest while rolling the dough.
  3. Roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange apple filling in the center, leaving a 2½-inch border. Fold edges up and over the fruit.
  4. Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
  6. Brush warm apples with melted apricot jam. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or caramel drizzle.

Notes

  • Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for balanced flavor.
  • Store-bought pie crust works in a pinch.
  • Add pears, cranberries, or nuts for variations.
  • Brown sugar can be used instead of granulated sugar for a deeper flavor.
