Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour A gluten-free blend works well too.
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (cold, cubed) Make sure it's chilled for optimal results.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Can be replaced with coconut sugar for added richness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Using sea salt can elevate the taste.
  • 6 tablespoons Ice Water Ice-cold water is crucial.
For the Filling
  • 4 cups Apples (mixed varieties) Swapping Granny Smith for Honeycrisps increases sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon A dash of nutmeg can provide a lovely depth.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Sweetens and contributes a caramel-like flavor to the apples.
For the Caramel Sauce
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar (for caramel sauce) Ensure it's specifically for the sauce.
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream (for caramel sauce) Milk may substitute, but expect a different flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt (for caramel sauce) Balances sweetness and enhances the caramel flavor.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Saucepan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
  2. Incorporate the cold, cubed butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together; shape it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough to create that beautiful golden crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, toss the thinly sliced mixed apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  6. On a piece of parchment paper, roll the chilled dough into approximately a 12-inch circle.
  7. Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet. Spoon the spiced apples into the center, then fold the edges over the filling.
  8. Place the galette in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  9. In a medium saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium heat until it transforms into a golden caramel.
  10. Carefully stir in the heavy cream and sea salt, mixing until smooth and silky.
  11. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the baked galette and serve it warm or at room temperature.
