Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • ½ cup ice water
  • 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
  • For the Salted Caramel Sauce:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Make the galette dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  2. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.
  5. Make the salted caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it turns an amber color.
  6. Carefully whisk in the butter until melted and combined.
  7. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking constantly. The mixture will bubble up.
  8. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt. Let it cool slightly.
  9. Assemble the galette: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle.
  11. Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
  12. Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Drizzle about half of the salted caramel sauce over the apples.
  13. Fold the dough border up and over the edges of the apples, pleating as you go to create a rustic crust.
  14. Brush the folded crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  15. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  16. Let the galette cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, with the remaining salted caramel sauce drizzled over the top.

Notes

  • You can use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor.
  • Ensure your butter and water are very cold for a flaky crust.
  • Adjust the caramel sauce to your sweetness preference.
