This apple galette is easier than pie, but just as delicious. Drizzled with a salted maple glaze and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this is the tastiest way to eat the season’s best apples.

Ingredients
Pie dough for a 9-inch single-crust pie
4cupspeeled and sliced applesfrom about 3 large apples
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To prepare the filling, gently toss together the apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
On a well floured surface, roll the pie dough into a 12-inch circle, trimming edges smooth as needed. Transfer dough to lined baking sheet. Leaving a 2-inch border, spread the apple mixture evenly over dough, starting from the center. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if using. Fold over the edges of dough, pleating to make it fit.
Whisk together egg yolk and water. Brush over the crust and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender and bubbly and crust is golden brown.
To make the glaze, melt the butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Lightly brown the butter, following my tutorial on how to brown butter.
Remove from heat and whisk in the remaining glaze ingredients.
Serve galette with glaze and vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Glaze will become grainy as it cools, so I recommend serving the glaze hot. If made ahead, reheat the glaze in a saucepan over low heat before serving.Helpful resources:
