Ingredients
  

Apple Filling
  • 2 pieces Honeycrisp apples, sliced Can substitute with Granny Smith apples if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Freshly squeezed for best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth to the filling.
Crust and Topping
  • 1 piece pre-made pie crust Store-bought or homemade, rolled out.
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces To enhance flavor of the apples.
  • 1 piece egg (for egg wash) For golden, shiny crust.
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash) To be mixed with the egg.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, squeeze the lemon juice over the sliced Honeycrisp apples. Add the sugar and cinnamon, mixing until the apples are evenly coated.
  3. Take your pre-made pie crust and roll it out on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter.
Assembly
  1. Place the apple mixture in the center of the rolled-out crust, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges. Drizzle any remaining juices from the bowl over the apples.
  2. Gently fold the edges of the crust over the apples, pinching it to secure.
  3. Scatter the small pieces of butter over the exposed apples.
  4. In a small bowl, beat together the egg and milk. Brush this egg wash over the crust.
Cooking
  1. Place the galette on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
  2. Let your galette cool slightly before slicing.
Serving
  1. Enjoy it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze slices for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
