4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla sugar divided
  • 7 Tbsp cold butter cubed
  • 4½ Tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp butter browned
  • 1-2 small Granny Smith apples
  • 1-2 Tbsp whole milk
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1¼ Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Combine flour, salt, and 1 Tbsp vanilla sugar in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add cold, cubed butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
  • Pour heavy cream through the feeding tube, about 2 Tbsp at a time, and process until the mixture just holds together when pinched.
  • Pour it out onto a clean work surface, gather it into a ball, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for one hour (or overnight).
  • Preheat oven to 350 F/180 C. Roll out the dough into a 9-inch round (more or less). Brown 1 Tbsp butter and brush on top of dough.
  • Peel and thinly slice apples. Arrange in a spoke pattern, leaving a 1- or 2-inch border. Brown the second tablespoon of butter and brush over apples.
  • Fold the dough border up towards the apples, pressing gently as needed to help the folds stick together. Brush with a bit of whole milk and sprinkle the crust and center with the remaining tablespoon of vanilla sugar.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • As the galette cools, make the caramel glaze: Melt brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter in a small saucepan, stirring constantly. Once the sugar has melted and the mixture comes to a boil, turn off the heat.
  • Stir in sifted powdered sugar, a bit at a time, until you get a nice drizzling consistency. (I only needed about half the 1/3 cup.) Drizzle over the top of the galette.
  • Slice with a pizza cutter and serve warm or room temperature with vanilla ice cream.
