Ingredients

For the Pastry Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup ice-cold water

For the Apple Filling:

  • 6-8 medium-sized apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

For the Vanilla Ice Cream:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Caramel Sauce:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter

Instructions

To Make the Pastry Crust:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 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 the ice-cold water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times until it becomes smooth and pliable.
  6. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

To Make the Apple Filling:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. Toss until the apples are evenly coated with the dry ingredients.
  3. Set aside to let the flavors meld together.

To Assemble the Galette:

  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
  2. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Arrange the apple filling in the center of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges.
  4. Fold the pastry over the apples, pressing the edges together to seal.

To Bake the Galette:

  1. Brush the pastry crust with a beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  2. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  3. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

To Make the Vanilla Ice Cream:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

To Make the Caramel Sauce:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and heavy cream.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter.
  4. Let cool to room temperature.

To Serve:

  1. Slice the cooled galette into wedges.
  2. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of each wedge.
  3. Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve immediately.
