Ingredients
- Apple Raspberry Galette
- You can use any combination of fruit, apples, pears, peaches, blueberries, blackberries etc. If you are just using apples, you can add a teaspoon of cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon of nutmeg to the streusel topping to get a traditional apple pie flavor.
- Serves 6-8
- For the pastry:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) very cold butter, diced
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- For the filling:
- 1 1/2 pounds Granny Smith or McIntosh apples (about 3 large), peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 cup raspberries (can be frozen)
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons half and half or milk
Instructions
For the pastry, place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse 12 to 15 times, or until the butter is the size of peas. Drizzle the ice water evenly around the flour and pulse until the dough is almost a solid mass. Form the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
For the Topping: Combine the flour, ¼ cup sugar, and salt, (and spices if you are using any) in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pour into a bowl and rub it with your fingers until it starts holding together. Refrigerate until needed.
Turn the dough onto a well-floured board and roll into an 11-inch circle. Transfer it to a baking sheet fitted with a Silpat liner if you have one or parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Place the apples and raspberries in center of dough leaving a 1 1/2-inch border and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apples. Gently fold the border over the apples to enclose the dough, pleating it to make a circle. Lightly brush the crust with half and half and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake the galette for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the apples are tender. Allow to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
