Print Recipe

An easy homemade rustic crust galette featuring tender baked apples and a gooey salted caramel drizzle, perfect for a cozy dessert with simple ingredients and quick prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt for topping
  • 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
  • About 4 medium apples (1 ½ pounds / 680g), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup (120ml) salted caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or food processor, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and pulse or cut in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  2. Slowly drizzle ice water, stirring gently until dough just comes together. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Toss sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Roll chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a roughly 12-inch circle about ¼ inch thick.
  5. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pile apple mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling, pleating as needed.
  6. Brush crust edges with beaten egg and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and apples are tender. Tent edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. Let cool about 10 minutes, then drizzle salted caramel sauce over the apples. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep butter and tools cold for flaky crust. Chill dough at least 30 minutes before rolling. Use flaky sea salt on top to balance sweetness. Cover crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Thin but not paper-thin apple slices keep good texture. Cornstarch prevents soggy crust. Dough can be made and chilled up to 2 days ahead.
