For the pistachio crumble:

• 1 cup chopped fresh pistachios
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

Make the crust

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
3. Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add ice-cold water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball.
5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Make the filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder. Mix until the apples are evenly coated with the dry ingredients.

Assemble and bake the galette

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
2. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
4. Fold the crust over the apples, pressing gently to seal.

Make the pistachio crumble

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine chopped pistachios, flour, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
2. Sprinkle the pistachio crumble over the galette, making sure to cover the entire surface.

Bake the galette

1. Bake the galette for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
2. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

• The pistachio crumble adds an extra layer of crunch and flavor to this classic dessert.
