Ingredients
  • For the Galette
  • 1 ½ all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • ¼ white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cubed
  • ¼ cup ice cold water
  • 3 Granny Smith apples peeled, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • For the the salted caramel sauce:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • To serve:
  • Salted caramel sauce
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Toasted almond flakes
Instructions
  1. To make the crust whisk the flour, sugar and salt together. Add the cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add the water and stir until the flour is moist. Knead the dough a few times on a floured surface until it comes together. Shape the dough into a ball and cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  2. While the dough is chilling, prepare the apple filling. Mix the apples, cinnamon and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cover and let the apples ist until the dough is ready.
  3. Now for the salted caramel, heat the granulated sugar in a medium size saucepan over medium heat stirring constantly. Sugar will eventually melt into a thick brown liquid. Be sure not to burn it.
  4. Once the sugar is completely melted, add in the butter and stir well. Then add in slowly the cream until well incorporated. Let the mixture boil for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add the salt and taste. If you wish you can add more salt. Add the caramel to a glass jar until ready to serve. The caramel will thicken as it cools down.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Lightly flour a work surface and place your chilled dough onto it. Roll the dough into a circle and transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Arrange the apples (without the juices) into the center of the dough leaving a 3-inch border all around. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the apples. Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar over the top.
  9. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  10. Allow the apple galette to cool on the baking sheet until for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  11. Serve with the homemade salted caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

Make sure when you make the crust the butter and water are super cold. This will help the dough hold it’s shape.
You can use any apple variety. We recommend granny smith, honeycrisp or pink lady.
You can also use store bought salted caramel sauce or normal caramel. However the caramel recipe makes 1 cup of caramel which can be used for other recipes and it’s very easy to make.
