Equipment
gfJules All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
Earth Balance Vegan, Lactose Free, Non-Dairy, Gluten Free, No MSG, Non-GMO Buttery Sticks 16 ounce (Pack of 6)
Ingredients
- 3 large apples sliced thin (Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Gala, etc.)
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 recipe gfJules Gluten Free Pie Crust
- 1/4 cup salted butter or non-dairy alternative
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or one vanilla bean split lengthwise
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon honey or agave nectar or pure maple syrup for vegan options
- demerara sugar for sprinkling optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375º F.
- Wash and thinly slice apples; do not peel. Place slices in a large bowl filled with water and one tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Roll out pie crust onto parchment paper liberally dusted with more gfJules Flour. Arrange apple slices in a circle, leaving 1 ½ inches of dough as a border to wrap over the apples.
- Continue laying apple slices on top of one another in an overlapping circle like pedals of a flower, getting narrower as the layers build.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter and vanilla extract or vanilla bean with seeds scraped into the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, or until butter foams and browns. Stir frequently so the butter does not burn.
- Remove from heat and remove vanilla bean pod, if using. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Brush apples with brown butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar and drizzle with honey over the top.
- Gently lift the pastry edges to tuck over the sides and around the apple mound. Brush pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with demerara sugar, if using.
- Slide parchment with galette onto a cookie sheet with raised sides (like a jelly roll pan).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the crust has browned lightly. Remove to cool on a wire rack.
