I show you why you its easier to make a single crust apple pie with my tips on crisp , all butter pastry. This tart has no thickener and little sugar added. I will discuss how to pick the right apple and why baking your pie right on a stone will give you best results. Be prepared to share this recipe and send people home with seconds, once they taste it.
FULL RECIPE BELOW :
Easy Apple Galette
Pastry
1 ¼ cup unbleached all purpose flour 180 gm )
Pinch salt (1 ml)
1 tsp. sugar (5 ml)
1/4 – 1/3 cup ice water (60-90ml)
½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick cut into small cubes and frozen( 115 gm )
Apples
2 Tbsp. apple butter (25 ml) apple jelly or black currant jam
2 ½ large Spy or other firm apples- note I said 2 in video but I added more
Ground cinnamon, optional
3 tbsp. sugar (45 gm )
2 tbsp. apple jelly or apricot jam (25ml)for glazing
1 tsp. water (5 ml)
1 egg beaten
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, salt and sugar. Stir in the frozen butter. Work with pastry cutter until small bits of butter remain. Make sure you don’t see large chunks of butter. Stir in the ice water with spatula . Note: my flour absorbed more water , closer to 1/3 cup. Stir , pressing gently into the bottom of bowl to absorb the flour.
Turn out onto board and gather firmly but quickly, kneading just a few times, until no flour remains. Wrap in plastic and pat gently into a disc. Chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thick round. Place the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze again, while you slice the apples for 10-15 minutes.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/8-inch thick wedges. Brush dough with egg wash and spread a thin layer of apple butter in the middle , leaving a 2 “ border. Overlap the apple wedges on top in a decorative spiral. NOTE : I used 2 ½ large apples for video, even though I originally said 2 . You can use up to 3 apples if you want a softer texture.
Sprinkle with sugar. Fold over excess pie dough into middle pinching slightly to fasten. Brush pastry top with egg. Sprinkle pastry with sugar .
Bake the galette at 375 D for 25, reduce to 350 for another 5-10 minutes or until it is dark golden brown and apples have softened. Check to make sure bottom is golden also.
Mix apple jelly and water together to make glaze. Brush the tart with the glaze 5 minutes before removing it from oven.
Note: you don’t have to use a bread stone as I did. You can just bake in bottom rack of oven on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Serves 8

Wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤ will make it 😀👍👍
So free and effortless. Please show us a recipe as a tribute to your favorite chef/food writer in one of your upcoming videos.
My favorite pie is Lemon Meringue Pie.
Looks awesome. I grew up with german apple cake. And the Italian plum one. Both still my favorites.
That looks amazing!! 😊
Looks so good and simple to make.
I wish you come back to having a regular show on tv. I just loved your show.
I’m one of those people that will take more than my share when it comes to apple pie. It is my favorite and would make it a birthday cake of choice. Christine, it looks absolutely delicious. Oh my Gawd, I can just imagine what the crust taste like. Side it with some vanilla ice cream, oh man… (heaven on earth)
I do love a key lime pie 😊
Looks amazing! Thank you for sharing this!
Wow love that apple galette, gotta try this. Apple is a winner for sure but 1 pie fav would be strawberry rhubarb sweetened just enough.
Bravo Christine! Looks absolutely delicious!!
My mom would make a fantastic mulberry pie when we had a mulberry tree in our backyard. It tasted terrific.
Mamma…! That's beautiful!!!!
Uh, I'd be one of those people for sure! You know, the kind who sneaks a bite here and there until the whole pie is gone! MY favorite pie is .. well, pie! You always make cooking look so easy 💕
I am always looking for ways to use apples. This will be perfect for an after yoga class dinner.
Yeah ❤ its apple pie seaon here in Canada. I remember because of course my parents were immigrants here. My parents would bring us to Chudleighs apple farm.!
As that time no one made apple pies! Those pies were lipsmacking boy! ❤❤ still to this day i can't recreate a good crust or pie 🤠🦃🇨🇦💖🤷♀️.
Well your pie looks fantastic ❤❤❤😋😋😋
Thank you so much of this delicious pie! My favourite, as well as wild blueberry pie in the summertime.
Pecan pie, but peach pie for fruit.
That apple tart is a piece of art! (Rhyme unintended 😊) Coconut cream pie is my favorite. My dad used to say he only liked two kinds of pies, hot and cold.
I'll bet a little cheddar cheese tossed into the crust would be fun. This simple, not complicated, galette looks perfect. Thanks Christine❤
What 'galette' says to me: I have no tart pan; I have no pie pan; I have no friend who will lend me a tart pan or a pie pan.
Thank you Christine for the recipe! I love baking with apples and pears. I make streusel and crisp! I will try this recipe too! 🙏🤗🤗 Have a great week!
I have some apples going to try this tomorrow
