Ingredients
Pastry
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup butter, cold and cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons water, ice-cold water
Apple Filling
- 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and cold butter; pulse a few seconds until crumbly. Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing just until the dough comes together with small pieces of butter still visible.
- Turn the dough out and shape into a disk with your hands. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until chilled and firm.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: toss the apple slices with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
- Roll the chilled dough into a large circle on a floured surface. Arrange the apple slices in the center, leaving a 1½–2 inch border. Fold the edges up and over the filling. Brush the crust and apples with the melted butter, then drizzle the apples with honey.
- Place the galette on parchment in the air fryer basket. Cook at 330°F (165°C) for 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let rest a few minutes, then slice, serve, and enjoy — delicious warm with vanilla ice cream.
Equipment
- Air fryer (basket or oven model)
- Food Processor
- Parchment Paper or Cooking Spray
- Rolling Pin
Notes
- Keep it cold: Chill the dough and work quickly for the flakiest crust.
- Prevent a soggy bottom: Sprinkle a thin layer of almond flour or breadcrumbs over the dough before adding the apples.
- Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate or freeze unbaked; bake from frozen with a few extra minutes.
- Air fryer note: Wattages vary — start checking at the 10-minute mark.
