Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted vegan butter, cut into cubes
- 4-6 tablespoons ice cold water
For the Filling:
- 3 large apples*
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Assembling:
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
For Serving (optional):
- Vegan vanilla ice cream
- Coconut whipped cream
Instructions
- In the food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until no large chunks of butter remain.
- Add in the ice cold water 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse until a dough ball starts to form. You might not need to add all of the water, but if the dough is still crumbly add more water.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and form the dough into a ball. Don't overwork the dough here so it remains light and flaky. Put the dough ball in a bowl and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes to an hour (the longer the better).
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and core the apples. Cut the apples in half, and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Add the apples along with all of the other filling ingredients (brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract) to a mixing bowl and toss to fully coat the apples.
- Take your dough out of the refrigerator and place it back onto your lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Arrange the apples (leaving the excess juices in the bowl) in a circular pattern, overlapping slightly in the center of the dough leaving a 2-inch border around the edge.
- Fold the excess 2-inches of dough up and over the edges of the apples, folding every 3-inches as you go around. Brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft and bubbling. Let the galette cool for 10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving with vegan vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream.
Notes
You can use all of the same type of apples for this recipe, but I think the flavor is best if you use 3 different kinds of apples. My favorite apples to use are Honeycrisp, pink lady, and granny smith.
