Vegan Apple Cinnamon Galette
Apple galette is a thin cake baked without a pan, and anyone can make it. Its flavor is very similar to the apple cakes I used to eat at my grandmother’s as a child. Those had a thicker crust, but the taste is the same!
Ingredients
dough
- 280 g all-purpose flour (or spelt flour)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 75 ml water (cold)
- 30 ml apple cider vinegar
- 90 g vegan butter (chilled)
- 1 tbsp plant-based milk (sweetened)
filling
- 300 g apple
cinnamon glaze
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 lemon (zest)
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 15 g vegan butter
Contains: gluten
How to make it
- In a large bowl, combine the plain flour, sugar, and salt.
- Cut the chilled plant-based butter into cubes and work it into the flour, leaving pea-sized pieces so the butter is not fully incorporated.
- In a glass, mix 75 ml of cold water with 30 ml of apple cider vinegar. Gradually add the liquid to the dough until it comes together. Do not mix for too long. The dough should not be smooth. Stop adding water once the flour is sufficiently hydrated – this may vary depending on the absorbency of the flour used.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- After chilling, place the dough on baking paper and roll it out into a circle about 35 cm in diameter. Chill it again while you prepare the apples and the cinnamon glaze.
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (392 °F). Cut the apples into quarters, remove the cores, and slice them as thinly as possible.
- Melt 15 g of plant-based butter in a pan. Add cinnamon, zest from half a lemon, and sugar.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Arrange the apple slices in a circle from the center outward, then fold the edges of the dough over the apples.
- Finally, brush the apples with the cinnamon glaze. Brush the edges of the dough with sweetened milk.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 200 °C for about 30–40 minutes.
- After baking, serve it warm, for example with ice cream.
