🍽️ Servings: 8 • 🔥 Calories/Serving: 320 (with ice cream topping)
For the Galette Crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
3-4 tablespoons ice-cold water
For the Chai Spiced Apples:
3 large apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Maple Pecan Streusel:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
For Serving:
Vanilla ice cream (1 scoop per serving)
Steps
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the apples are coated with the chai spice mixture. Set aside.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, chopped pecans, softened butter, and pure maple syrup until the streusel forms crumbly clumps. Set aside.
Step 5
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled galette dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Arrange the chai spiced apple slices in the center of the galette dough, leaving about 2 inches of dough around the edges.
Step 7
Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, slightly overlapping as you go, to create a rustic galette shape.
Step 8
Sprinkle the maple pecan streusel over the top of the apple filling, covering the exposed apples and the edges of the galette.
Step 9
Bake the Chai Spiced Apple Galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Step 10
Allow the galette to cool slightly before serving. Slice into wedges and serve each slice with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
