Cinnamon Apple Galette with White Chocolate and Macadamia Nuts Crumble Topping

Servings: 8-10 people Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Filling:

  • 6-8 medium-sized apples, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven and Make the Crust:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually pour in the beaten egg, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Crust:

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled crust dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm). Transfer the rolled-out crust to a baking sheet or a pizza stone.

Make the Filling:

In a separate medium bowl, mix together the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Arrange the apple mixture on top of the rolled-out crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Assemble the Crumble Topping:

In another small bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, chopped macadamia nuts, flour, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the cold butter to the mixture and use your fingers or a pastry blender to work it into the dry ingredients until crumbly.

Bake the Galette:

Spread the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Fold the crust's edges up over the filling to create a crusty edge. Brush the egg wash over the folded crust edges and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Let it Cool:

Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
