# Ingrediente:

→ Crust

01 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon sugar
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
05 - 3–4 tablespoons ice water

→ Filling

06 - 4 medium apples
07 - 3 tablespoons sugar
08 - 2 teaspoons cinnamon
09 - 4 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into small cubes
10 - 1 egg, for eggwash
11 - 1 pint vanilla ice cream, for serving

# Instrucțiuni:

01 - In a food processor, mix together flour, sugar, and salt. Add in butter and pulse mixture until it resembles wet sand. Pour in ice water, starting with 3 tablespoons, and pulse again until dough comes together and forms a ball. If dough doesn’t come together, add an additional tablespoon of ice water.
02 - Remove dough from the food processor and place it on a floured surface. Roll into a ball, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
03 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
04 - Sprinkle a work surface with flour. Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to the prepared baking tray. Use a 9-inch cake pan to create an indentation in the center of the dough to guide apple placement.
05 - Peel and core the apples. Cut them in half and slice thinly. Fan out each sliced half and arrange the slices on the dough starting from the outer edge toward the center.
06 - In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples. Dot the apples with small cubes of butter.
07 - Lift the edges of the dough up and over the apples, folding it every 3-4 inches to create an overlapping pattern.
08 - Mix the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the mixture over the crust. Bake the galette for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
09 - Let the galette cool slightly and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

# Note utile:

01 - Allow the dough to chill long enough to ensure it is easy to roll out and work with.
02 - Use a butter knife to lift and place fanned apple slices onto the dough for precise arrangement.
