Yields nine-inch galette
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 385 g Honoré Sonora flour
- 2 tbls sugar
- ½ tbls salt
- 340 g unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbls raw, apple cider vinegar
- 60 g ice water
For the Filling and Assembly
- 2½ lbs apples, cored, peeled, and thinly sliced
- ¾ cup best-quality honey
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 tbls Honoré Sonora flour
- 2 tbls fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
- Demerara sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
- Make the crust: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the butter to the bowl and use a pastry blender and your hands to incorporate into the flour until you have large, flat pieces of butter evenly distributed among the flour. Place bowl in freezer for 5-10 mins.
- Combine vinegar and ice water. Drizzle over the flour-butter mixture. Using your hands, gently mix in the water. Add an additional 1-2 tablespoons of water, if necessary.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Use your palms to knead it lightly until you have a shaggy ball of dough. Shape the dough into a disc about 1 inch thick, and 8-9inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic and chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Heat the oven to 375 F. Remove dough from refrigerator, and let it soften slightly at room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss apples, honey, sugar, flour, lemon juice and cinnamon.
- On a floured work surface, roll the dough into a circle approximately 18 inches in diameter. Transfer your dough to a lightly greased 9-inch springform pan, letting the overhang remain.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the crust. Fold the excess dough over the filling, covering the apples by about 1 to 2 inches.
- Whisk the egg with a teaspoon of water and use it to brush the exposed crust. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, demerara sugar, and a little flaky salt.
- Bake galette until the crust is deeply golden brown, 65 to 75 minutes.
- Remove galette from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.
