Apple Galette

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom or cinnamon
• 1/4 cup sugar
• flour
• 1 disk sweet tart crust
• 3 small apples
• 2 tbsp cold salted butter
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 2 tbsp apricot jam

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. If using the cardamom, combine it with the sugar in a small bowl.
2. On a lightly floured surface, use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll the dough out into an 11-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
3. Cut each apple around its core into 4 pieces (no need to peel), cutting straight down and slightly rotating the apple between cuts, leaving a square core. Discard the core and thinly slice the apple pieces into half-moon shapes. Shingle the apple slices in overlapping rows, leaving a 2-inch border all the way around.
4. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup sugar (or the cardamom-sugar mixture) evenly over the apples. Top with the pieces of butter.
5. Lift and press the edges of the dough up over the fruit, folding as necessary. Brush the crust with the heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar.
6. Bake the galette until the crust is deep golden brown and the apples are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the apricot jam and run it through a fine mesh sieve or slotted spoon to remove any large pieces of fruit. Immediately brush the apples lightly with the apricot jam. Let cool slightly before serving.
