Equipment
Ingredients
For The Crust
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons salted butter -cold
- 2 teaspoons ice water
For The Filling
- 1 medium apple
- ½ teaspoon honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch ground nutmeg
- ½ tablespoon salted butter -cold & cut into small pieces
- 1 small egg -beaten
Instructions
Make The Crust
- Heat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter with a fork until the mixture looks like wet sand.
- Add water and stir until a dough forms.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Place the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a 6-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Transfer the dough (with bottom parchment) to a baking sheet and remove the top sheet.
Make the Filling
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apple. Spoon the slices into the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the edges over the apples.
- Drizzle honey over the apples.
- In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle over the apples and dot with butter.
- Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
Notes
- Save Leftover Egg: Use any remaining egg in a breakfast bowl, single serving of fried rice, or a small crustless quiche for added protein.
- Make Dough Ahead: Prepare the dough up to 3 days in advance and refrigerate, or freeze for up to 3 months. Perfect for when you want a quick small apple galette anytime.
- Use Cold Butter: Cold butter is essential for a light, flaky crust.
- Roll Evenly: Roll the dough into a 6-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. A uniform crust bakes evenly and holds the filling better.
- Don’t Overfill: Avoid adding too many apples, the crust needs space to fold and bake properly.
