Description
This rustic Honey Apple Galette is a flaky, golden tart filled with tender apples and sweet honey. Easier than pie and full of cozy fall flavor, it’s a perfect make-ahead dessert.
Ingredients
For the pastry
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3–4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling
- 4–5 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
Instructions
1. Whisk flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until dough comes together.
2. Wrap dough in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes. Roll into a 12-inch circle on floured surface.
3. Peel and slice apples. Toss with honey, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
4. Transfer rolled dough to parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange apples in overlapping circles, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold dough over apples.
5. Brush edges with beaten egg. Drizzle remaining honey over apples.
6. Bake at 400°F for 35–40 minutes until crust is golden and apples are tender.
Notes
You can make the dough up to 2 days ahead. For extra texture, sprinkle sliced almonds or chopped nuts on the apples before folding the crust. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or mascarpone.
