Ingredients

  • 1 recipe sharp cheddar pie crust or other 9-inch pie crust
  • 2 medium to large granny smith apples peeled, cored and sliced about a 1/4-inch thick.
  • 1/2 small lemon juiced
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter quartered
  • 1 egg combined with 2 teaspoons water

Instructions

Make the Apple Filling:

  • Line rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 400°
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the apples, lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Use a rubber spatula and toss to combine until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.

Make the Galette:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to roughly 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Add the apple filling in the center, leaving a 2 to 3-inch border. Fold up the sides, overlapping slightly.
  • Dot the filling with butter pieces and brush the edges of the pie dough with the egg wash.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender, filling is bubbling and the crust is golden. If apples are getting to brown move to a lower rack in your oven.
  • Remove, let cool and serve.
