Salted Caramel Apple Galette by Chef Harsh Shodhan of The Gourmet Kitchen &amp; Studio and Hola Hummm_us
Ingredients
Dough: 1 and 1/2 cups (188g) - Flour, plus more for work surface 1/4 cup (50g) - Castor sugar 1/4 tsp - Salt 1/2 cup (115g) &ndash; Cold butter 1/4 cup (60ml)- Cold water
Filling and topping: 3- Large apples, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch slices 1/4 cup (50g) - Brown sugar 1 1/2 Tbsp (12g) &ndash; Flour 2 tsp - Fresh lemon juice 1 tsp - Ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp - Ground nutmeg optional: 1/3 cup (40g) Diamond of California chopped walnuts
Caramel sauce: 1 cup granulated sugar 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature) 1/2 cup heavy cream (room temperature) 1/4 &ndash; 1/2 teaspoon salt
Method:
Caramel: 1. Place an even layer of sugar in the bottom of the heavy saucepan.&nbsp; 2. Heat the sugar over medium-high heat, shirring only when it begins to melt. The sugar will start to clump together as it melts. Stir the melting sugar and allow it to cook until it turns a dark amber color (the color of brown sugar).&nbsp; 3. Add the butter room and whisk. Next, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons salt, stir and remove from heat. Slowly add the cream, whisking until the mixture is smooth.&nbsp; 4. Stop stirring as soon as the cream is incorporated. Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Dough:&nbsp; 1. Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl.&nbsp; 2. Using a pastry cutter or a couple forks, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.&nbsp; 3. Add the water and stir until the flour is moistened. Add 1 more Tablespoon of water if the dough seems dry.&nbsp; 4. Gently knead the dough a few times on a lightly floured work surface until it all comes together.&nbsp; 5. Shape the dough into a ball and flatten it into a thick disk. 6. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour.
Filling: 1. Mix the apples, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Cover tightly and let sit until the dough is ready. 2. Preheat the oven to 180&deg;C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. 3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle.&nbsp; 4. Trim the rim of the circle to make a clean cut if desired.&nbsp; 5. Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet. 6. Arrange the apples (not the juices) into the centre of the dough, leaving a 2-3 inch border all around.&nbsp; 7. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the apples, overlapping the dough as necessary. Press gently to seal the edges.&nbsp; 8. Drizzle three Tablespoons of salted caramel over the filling (not the crust).&nbsp; 9. Brush the crust edges with egg wash and sprinkle the whole thing with walnuts, if using. 10. Bake until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, about 35-38 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. 11. Serve with extra salted caramel sauce drizzled on top.
