Honey Apple Galette (Ready-to-Print Version)

Flaky crust envelops tender Honeycrisp apples, honey, and cinnamon for a cozy dessert experience.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
05 - 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

→ Filling

06 - 3 medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
07 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
08 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 - 2 tablespoons honey
11 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

→ Finishing

12 - 1 large egg, beaten
13 - 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
14 - 1 to 2 teaspoons honey, warmed

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
02 - In a separate bowl, toss the sliced Honeycrisp apples with granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, honey, and lemon juice until the apples are evenly coated and glossy.
03 - Lightly flour a work surface. Roll the chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Carefully transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 - Pile the apple filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as you go and leaving the center exposed. Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
05 - Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the apples are tender.
06 - Allow to cool slightly. Dust the galette with powdered sugar. Warm the honey and drizzle generously over the apples before serving for added sheen and flavor.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Keep butter and water extremely cold to ensure a flaky crust. Thin, even apple slices around 1/8 inch thick promote uniform baking and tender texture.
02 - Rustic, loose pleats encourage even cooking and create a beautifully crisp, golden crust.
03 - Baking on a preheated stone or steel enhances crust crispness.
04 - Pre-warm honey before drizzling to achieve a glossy, pourable finish.
