Gluten Free Apple Galette
This rustic dessert is not only beautiful but also incredibly simple to make. The crust is flaky, and the warm apple filling is a comforting treat. Perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2-4 tablespoons cold water
For the filling:
- 3-4 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- ¼ cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, prepare the apple filling. In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch until well combined.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a rough circle about ¼ inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating it as you go. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect; the rustic look is charming!
- Beat the egg and brush it over the crust for a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving.
This delightful Gluten-Free Apple Galette is perfect served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy this heartwarming dessert with family and friends, and embrace the joy it brings to your table!
