Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cup tapioca starch
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup cold coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 3 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 0.125 teaspoon cloves
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon almond milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the cold coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a spatula until the dough just comes together.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough chills, peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar.

Step 8

Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a 12-inch round.

Step 9

Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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

Step 12

In a small bowl, beat the egg with almond milk to make an egg wash.

Step 13

Brush the crust with the egg wash to promote even browning.

Step 14

Sprinkle a touch of additional coconut sugar over the apples and crust, if desired.

Step 15

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

Step 16

Allow the galette to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before serving.
