Cinnamon Apple Galette with Pistachio Crust

Servings: 8-10 people

Ingredients:

• 2 large apples, peeled and sliced (Granny Smith or other tart variety)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp allspice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Pistachio Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh pistachios

Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Mix until the apples are evenly coated with the dry ingredients.

Prepare the Pistachio Crust:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, confectioners' sugar, and melted butter until crumbly.
• Stir in chopped pistachios.

Assemble the Galette:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (6 mm). Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Arrange the apple filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
• Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pressing gently to seal. Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Bake the Galette:

• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
• Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
