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.
