Servings: 4
Ingredients
- All Butter Pie Crust
- 3 apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, thinly sliced
- 1/4 C chopped walnuts
Cinnamon Crumble Topping
- 1/4 C all-purpose flour
- 1/4 C dark brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 pinch salt
Toppings
- powdered sugar
- vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Make the pie crust dough if that’s the route you’re going or take out your pre-made dough from the fridge or freezer so it’s warm enough to work with. Here is my favorite all butter pie crust that I use as a base for these galettes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Set aside.
- Toast the walnuts in the oven while it preheats. Add them to a sheet pan and check every 5 mins and give them a shake so they evenly toast. You want them to be a dark golden brown, but not burnt.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough 13-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Slice your apples thinly and arrange in shingled rows in the ceter of your galette dough leaving a 2” margin around the outside. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
- Let the galette cool slightly before serving. Top with the toasted walnuts and lots of powdered sugar. Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
