For The Pastry
- 2 cups of Pastry Flour
- 1/2 tsp of Salt
- 2 Tbsp of Granulated Sugar
- 14 Tbsp (one stick plus 6 Tbsp) Unsalted Butter
- 4 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar
- 5–6 Tbsp of very cold Water
For The Mountain Rose Apple Filling
- 3 small Mountain Rose Apples
- 1 Tbsp of Lemon Juice
- 2 tsp of Cornstarch
- 2 tsp of Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp of Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp of ground Ginger
- 1/4 tsp of Ground Cardamom
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Sift the 2 cups of pastry flour, and add to the bowl of a food processor along with the salt and 2 tbsp sugar. Pulse a few times to combine.
- Cut 14 tbsp butter into thin pats and add to the food processor, pulsing a few times until mixture looks like course meal.
- Add the 4 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar, and pulse a few more times.
- Add water one tbsp at a time, pulsing a few times with each addition, until a dough ball forms.
- Turn out onto floured surface and knead a two or three times, form into a flat disk and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to rest.
- While pastry is resting, cut the Mountain Rose apples in half and remove seeds, cut into quarters, and slice into thin wedges. No need to peel them.
- Place apple slices (you should have around 2 cups) in a large bowl, and toss with the Tbsp of lemon juice.
- Next, toss with 2 tsp of cornstarch until coated. Then toss apple slices with 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ginger, and 1/4 tsp cardamom.
- Remove pastry from plastic wrap onto a floured surface, and roll out into a circle until dough is a quarter inch thickness. It should be at least 12 inches across.
- Move pastry to a large cookie sheet. Place apples in the middle of the pastry, spreading evenly and leaving a two inch border of pastry all around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the pastry over the apples, and brush the pastry edges with beaten egg. Bake for one hour, or until the edges of the galette are golden. Cut into wedges and serve.
Notes
I used Mountain Rose apples, which have a beautiful pink interior. If you are not able to find these in your area, Honeycrisp or Golden Delicious are quite suitable, your galette filling just won’t have the same bright pink color to it.
