Apple Cheddar Galette

An easy dough with Apples and Cheddar in the filling

 


ingredients

for the crust

  • 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 3 teaspoons salt

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar

  • 1/2 cup ice cold water

  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

  • for brushing:  1 tbsp olive oil

    For the filling

  • 2 large honeycrisp apples, thinly sliced

  • 1 tsp finely chopped rosemary

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • ½ cupe finely grated cheddar cheese

  • Honey


instructions

  1. 1.        Add the flour, sugar, thyme and salt to a food processor and pulse just until combined. In a small bowl, whisk mix together the egg, vinegar and water. Add the cold butter pieces into the food processor and pulse until small coarse crumbs remain. Sprinkle the water/egg mixture over the flour and pulse again until the dough comes together.

    2.        Remove the dough with your hands and wrap it in plastic wrap. This dough makes enough for 2 galette crusts, so you can either separate it into 2 sections now, or separate it after it’s refrigerated. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. (The other dough can be thrown in the fridge for a few months!)

    3.        After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

    Filling

    1.        Add the sliced apples to a bowl. Sprinkle the apples with rosemary, cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt. Toss the apples well and let them sit for 10 minutes.

    2.        Remove one of the crusts from the fridge. (The other is good for another week or so, or it can be frozen.) Roll one of the pie crusts into a… “rustic” shape – no shape necessary really – until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    3.        Sprinkle the cheese in an even layer over the top of the dough. Layer the apples in the center leaving a 2-inch+ border of crust. Once the apples are layered, fold the crust over top of the apples. Brush the crust with the olive oil. Bake the galette until the crust is golden, about 40 to 45 minutes.

    4.        Before serving, drizzle honey over the top of the galette.
