Apple Galette From Scratch

Flaky Dough

In a medium size bowl, mix the flour and salt together.

Add the cold butter and use your fingers to crush them with the flour. Don't mix it all in, leave some little chunks too.

Add the water and only knead the dough until it all comes together.

Flatten out the dough, cover it with plastic wrap and keep it in the freezer for 30mins.

Take the dough out, dust the table with flour and use a rolling pin to open the dough into a rectangle. When the dough is about half inch thick, fold one side to the middle and then the other side to the middle as well (watch the video for visual explanation). Wrap the dough again and leave it in the freezer for 30 more minutes.

Repeat this process once again. After the third 30minutes rest, open the dough to half inch thickness and use a bowl and a knife to cut the circles (watch video for visual explanation)

Once you have the circles cut out, cover them with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge.

Filling

Peel and slice the apples into 1 inch thickness.

Put all the ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix it all well together.

Reserve.

Crumble

Put the oats, melted butter and brown sugar into a small bowl and use a spoon to mix it together. When it is combined, it is ready.

Shaping

Get the dough from the fridge.

Place the apple slices in the middle of one dough circle, leaving about 2 inches space between the edges.

Then, fold the remaining dough all around until it closes. (watch video for visual explanation)

Cover the top with a layer of crumble. Once all the galettes are ready, pre heat the oven to 450°F and bake it for 20mins or until golden brown.

Serve it hot with some caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream or enjoy it by itself!
