Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup, cubed cold butter
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 4 medium, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick honeycrisp apples
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: In a food processor, pulse 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Gradually add 1/4 cup ice water while pulsing until dough just comes together.
- Step 2: Divide dough into two equal portions, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Step 3: In a bowl, toss 4 peeled and sliced medium honeycrisp apples with 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp sugar until evenly coated.
- Step 4: On a floured surface, roll one dough disk into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange apple mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges up over the apples.
- Step 5: Brush the crust with any remaining syrup and bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and apples are bubbling around the edges.
Frequently asked questions
How long does Maple-Glazed Apple Galette take to make?
Total time is about 70 minutes (30 min prep + 40 min cook). Most home bakers find this fits a weekend afternoon; chill or store as the recipe directs before serving.
How do I store leftover Maple-Glazed Apple Galette?
Cool fully before storing. Most baked desserts keep at room temperature in an airtight container for 2–3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Cream- or custard-based desserts must go in the fridge within 2 hours; reheat gently or serve cold per the recipe.
Can I substitute ingredients in Maple-Glazed Apple Galette?
Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
How do I scale Maple-Glazed Apple Galette for a different number of people?
The recipe is written for 6 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 6). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
