Ingredients
Dough
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, (180g)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, unsalted, cold, (115g)
- 1/4 cup cold water, (60ml)
Crumble Topping (optional)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, (30g)
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter, unsalted, cold
Filling
- 2 apples peeled, cored, & sliced 1/4 inch (granny smith, honey crisp, pink lady)
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar, (60g)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Then, use a fork or pastry cutter to cut the butter in to form a grainy texture. Stir in the water, 1 tablespoon at a time. When the dough begins to clump together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
- Knead the dough for about 3 minutes to fully incorporate the ingredients. Add some flour if the dough sticks to your hands or the surface. Place the ball of dough back in the bowl, cover it, and put it in the refrigerator to chill for now.
Prepare the Optional Streusel Topping
- Mix the flour, brown sugar, cane sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut the butter into the mixture until it’s crumbly. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for now.
Make the Filling
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Peel and slice the apples into ¼ inch slices. Place them in the bowl and top them with lemon juice. Toss the slices until they're fully coated.
Assemble
- Roll the dough out on parchment paper. The dough should be about ¼ inch thick and in the shape of a circle or oval (about 8-12 inches in diameter).
- Add the apple slices to the center. Place each slice slightly over the previous one, but make sure the layer doesn't exceed two slices. Let the liquid drip off each slice before adding it. Keep the apple slices 1 inch away from the edge of the dough. Fold and pinch the edge of the dough over to cover the outer edge of the apple slices.
- Move the galette and parchment paper over to a medium-sized baking sheet. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the entire galette, including the crust. Press the toppings down a bit to prevent them from rolling off.
- Bake the galette for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes and enjoy!

Notes
- Keep the butter and water cold until you’re ready to use them.
- No need to include any of the remaining liquid from the pie filling mixture.
- Slice the apples about ¼ inch thick so they are able to fully cook in the oven.
- Roll the dough on parchment paper to make it easier to transfer the galette over to the baking pan later.
