Ingredients
- 7.1 oz all-purpose flour
- 3/4 oz sugar
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 4.4 oz unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 apple
- 1.8 oz sugar
- 0.4 oz cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 oz turbinado sugar
- 2 teaspoons melted butter
- a little pistachios
Method
- Whisk the egg with the water in a small jug to make the egg water for the pastry.
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl, then cut in the chilled cubed butter with a scraper until the pieces are the size of rice grains.
- Dribble in a little over half of the egg water and bring the mixture together into a rough dough.
- Cut the dough in half, stack the halves, and repeat 2 or 3 times to build flaky layers.
- Shape the dough into a round, wrap it, and rest it in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
- Roll the rested dough to about 1/8 inch thick on a dusting of flour, trim it roughly round, and chill the sheet briefly.
- Halve the apple, remove the core and stem, and slice the halves thinly.
- Toss the apple slices gently with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and pinch of salt.
- Fan the apple slices in a round in the center of the dough, leaving a wide border bare.
- Fold the bare border of dough inward over the edge of the fruit in loose pleats.
- Brush the folded crust with the remaining egg water and sprinkle the turbinado sugar over it.
- Bake the galette in an oven preheated to 365°F for 30 minutes until the crust is deep golden.
- Brush the hot galette with the melted butter and scatter the pistachios over the top.
