This recipe was based on a previous apple pie I made. I modified it to turn it into a galette which was simple and quick.
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tbsp. ice water.
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) butter or margarine
1 egg, beaten + 1 tsp water (can replace with melted margarine to be vegan)
For the Filling:
2 apples, thinly sliced
2 pears, thinly sliced
0.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
1.5 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
a pinch of salt
Directions:
Combine 1/2 cup flour, water and vinegar in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, combine remaining flour, powdered sugar and salt.
Add margarine (cut into small pea sized balls). Cut into flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fork.
Add wet ingredients to this mixture.
Wrap dough in saran wrap and refrigerate for 30mins – 1 hour.
Mix filling ingredients in a bowl.
Preheat oven to 400˚F
Roll out to approximately 1/8 of an inch.
Transfer to a cookie sheet.
Place filling on dough with approximately 2 inches of crust around the edge.
Fold crust over top.
Brush crust with egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 35-45 minutes.
