Ingredients

Crust

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon cane sugar
¼ tsp kosher salt
½ cup vegan butter cold and cut into cubes

Apple Filling

4 cups Honeycrisp or Granny SmithHapples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
¼ cup cane sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder

For Brushing

1 tablespoon almond milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon coarse sugar optional

Instructions

In a food processor, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse to combine.
Add the cold vegan butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough starts to come together.
Remove the dough from the food processor. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as you go to create a rustic edge.
In a small bowl, mix the almond milk and maple syrup. Brush this mixture over the crust. Optional: Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
Let the galette cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve as is or with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream!

Notes

Tips for Making Vegan Apple Galette

Pre-cube the butter and leave it in the refrigerator until you can work it into the flour mixture.
Be sure to add just a bit of water to the mixture to form the dough. Remember, you can always add more water, but never remove it!
Be sure you slice your apples very thinly so they get nice and soft while the galette bakes.
Store for up to 3 days in an air-tight container in the fridge.
Double wrap in plastic wrap, and store for 2-3 months in the freezer.
