Crust

  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the dough attachment, combine flour and sugar.

  • Add butter, a few slices at a time, pulsing after each.
  • Continue pulsing until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Add vinegar and cream.

  • Wrap in plastic wrap.

Notes

*This recipe was written using an average of the dip and sweep method for measuring flour and the spoon and level method. If you are using a scale, you will need to add 3/4 oz or 22 g  to the measurement for each cup of flour.
  • 3 cups of sliced apples is about 2 large apples or about 1 pound.
  • Be careful to not over-work your pie dough! It can be very easy to do. You simply just want everything to come together. Be sure to watch it closely!
  • Keep your pie crust COLD! The refrigerator is your best friend with this recipe. When not working with the pie dough, it needs to be in the fridge.
  • Be sure to slice your apples thinly! About ⅛ inch thick.
  • When baking the galette, you may need to cover the filling with a small piece of foil to keep the apples from burning.
  • It's best to drizzle the caramel over the galette right before serving!
