How to make Mini Apple Galettes
Prepare dough. In the bowl of food processor or Thermomix, pulse together flour, pinch of salt, sugar and cold butter. Add cold water and pulse again. The dough should be pea-sized and resemble wet sand. Shape dough into disk, cover with plastic wrap and place into the fridge. This could be done a day ahead or a few hours. Keep dough refrigerated until use.
Make apple filling. Peel and cut into small cubes apples. In the mixing bowl add cut apples, brown sugar, corn starch and vanilla bean paste. Mix with the spatula until all combine. In the frying pan add butter and let it melt. Add apple mixture and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
Assembling galettes. Remove the dough from the fridge and place on the parchment paper. Cut into 6 equal pieces. This recipe makes 2 big galettes or 6 small. Using rolling pin, make circle from each piece of dough. Circles do not have to be perfect. After that add the apple filling into the center of the dough circle, leaving room around the edge. Gently fold the edges of the dough over apple filling, overlapping the dough as necessary.
Egg wash. In the small bowl whisk the egg. Using pastry brush, egg wash the edges of each galette and sprinkle with the sugar.
Bake galettes at 375oF (190oC) for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
How to serve and store
Serve Mini Apple Galettes warm with scoop of vanilla ice cream on the plate. They are also delicious to be eaten cold. If you have leftovers, store galettes in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
