Ingredients

• 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 25 grams Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 85 grams Unsalted butter (cold)
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 2 pieces Medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg (for egg wash, optional)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add into the flour mixture.

Step 3

Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Drizzle in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together. You may not need all the water.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, combine apple slices, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until apples are evenly coated.

Step 9

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 10

Transfer the dough circle to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.

Step 12

Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as necessary, to form a rustic edge.

Step 13

If using, beat the egg and milk together to create an egg wash and brush it over the edges of the galette.

Step 14

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 15

Allow the galette to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Rustic Apple Galette warm or at room temperature.
