Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour for the dough
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the dough and filling
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water add gradually to bring dough together
- 3 large apples firm, tart variety like Granny Smith
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries or frozen, thawed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for the fruit filling
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds warmth to the filling
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fingertips to cut in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually sprinkle in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough begins to clump together but is not wet or sticky.
- Gather the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to relax the gluten and chill the butter.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss the slices in a bowl with sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and cranberries, letting the flavors meld slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a roughly 12-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Pour the fruit filling onto the center of the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border all around.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic, uneven border. Brush the crust with a little water or egg wash for a shiny finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
For a more pronounced cinnamony flavor, sprinkle extra cinnamon over the fruit before folding. You can also substitute other seasonal fruits like pears or plums for variation.
