Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sticks butter
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 4 tbsp ice water (in small bowl)
  • 4 medium apples
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • sugar for dusting
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  • First step is to cube the 1 stick of butter (the remaining half will be used later) and pop it in the freezer (while you prep the rest of the ingredients or for about 30 minutes)
  • Gather all your other ingredients, including the small bowl of ice water. Measure out the flour and combine the flour and salt in the food processor. Remove the butter from the freezer and add to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms the consistency shown in the post above. It should take anywhere from 6-10 short pulses. 
  • Next, get the bowl of ice water and add to the flour and butter while pulsing intermittently. During this process it should begin to form a dough ball. Once it gets stuck to the side of the food processor in a ball, remove and place on plastic wrap. Wrap up and put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes
  • Next, slice the apple into as thin of slices as you possibly can. Once they are sliced, toss them in the cinnamon and brown sugar. 
  • After you slice the apples, remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out as thin as you can, around 1/8 of an inch. Lay your apples on it in whatever fashion works best for you leaving around an inch of dough around the circumference.
  • Fold the dough over the apples form a crust. Paint the crust of the galette with the egg and wash. Then take the remaining butter (1/2 a stick) and put small slices covering the surface of the galette.
  • Then sprinkle the crust with sugar and pop it in a 375 degree oven for around 30 minutes

Whipped Ricotta Honey

  • Add the ricotta and honey to a food processor and combine until smooth. If you do not have a food processor, simply whisk by hand
  • Add to the top of the galette as a whole or each slice and enjoy!

Notes

First step is to cube the butter as shown below and pop it in the freezer while you prep the rest of the ingredients or for about 30 minutes.
