Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Total: 40 mins
1 galette – serves about 6
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp. fine-grain sea salt
- ½ tsp. granulated sugar
- 5 tbsp. Earth Balance vegan butter
- 4-6 tbsp. ice water
- ¼ cup vegetable shortening
For Filling:
- 2-3 large apples (cut into thin slices)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
For serving:
- Vegan whipped cream
- Vegan vanilla ice cream
- Sugared cranberries (for decoration)
Instructions
Chill the bowl.
- Take a medium mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. It will help keep the dough cold.
Get the oven ready.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375 °F.
Make the crust
-
Take a small bowl and fill it with cold water and ice. Set it aside.
-
Now remove the bowl from the refrigerator and add the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix to combine.
-
After that, add cubed butter and shortening in walnut-sized clumps. Mix the dough with your hands. Try to flatten the butter and shortening while mixing.
-
Make a well in the middle of the ingredients and add 3 tbsp. ice water. Knead the mixture until the flour is moistened. But don’t knead too much because it will result in a tough crust.
-
Continue adding 1 tbsp. at a time and knead the dough until it sticks together in a ball.
Roll and transfer the crust
- Place a baking sheet on the countertop and sprinkle some flour.
- Put the dough ball on the top and sprinkle more flour.
- Roll the dough into a 14-inch circle with the help of a rolling pin. You can add more flour to keep the dough from sticking. Trim the rough edges.
- Lift the dough and transfer it to the pre-lined baking sheet.
Add apples and fold the dough
- Leave 2-inch border around the edges and arrange apple slices on the dough.
- Fold the dough over the apples. Press to seal the edges.
Brush with syrup and add cinnamon-sugar
- Use a pastry brush to brush all the exposed crust with pure maple syrup.
- Now take a small bowl and mix sugar and cinnamon in it. Sprinkle it over the top of the Apple Galette.
Bake
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden around the edges and the apples are tender. The suggested time is between 25-35 minutes.
- Remove the Galette from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Serve
- When cool, transfer to a serving plate with a thin but wide spatula or even a pastry scraper.
- Serve it with sugared cranberries, vegan whipping cream, or vegan vanilla ice cream.
