Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 3 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 Egg, beaten (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Add chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough. Form it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch. Ensure the apples are well coated with the spices and cornstarch.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Carefully fold the edges over the apples, pleating as you go to create a rustic look.

Step 7

If using, brush the exposed dough with beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your sugar-free rustic apple galette!
