Ingredients

• 2 Honeycrisp apples, sliced
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon butter (for dotting)
• Flour (for dusting)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Apples: Start by washing and slicing your Honeycrisp apples. Toss the sliced apples in a large bowl with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon until they’re evenly coated. Set aside while you prepare the crust.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure your galette bakes evenly and turns a lovely golden brown.
3. Roll Out the Dough: Dust your work surface with flour. Carefully roll out the pre-made pie crust to about 12 inches in diameter. Place it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Add the Apple Filling: Arrange the cinnamon-sugared apples in the center of the rolled-out crust, leaving about a 2-inch border. This will be the rustic flair of your galette.
5. Fold the Edges: Gently fold the edges of the crust over the apples, creating a beautiful crust. It doesn’t have to be perfect—rustic is the name of the game!
6. Egg Wash and Dot with Butter: Beat the egg and brush it over the folded crust. This will give it a beautiful shine. Dot the exposed apple filling with small pieces of butter.
7. Bake: Place the galette in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are soft.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, perhaps with some halal whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream if you’d like!
