Why does the dough need to resemble sand?

Mixing the flour and olive oil until it resembles sand ensures the fat is evenly distributed, creating a tender and flaky crust for the galette.

How thin should the apples be sliced for this galette?

The recipe specifies slicing the apples as thin as possible, which helps them cook evenly and become tender within the baking time.

Can I adjust the spices in this apple galette?

This recipe calls for 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, which provide a balanced flavor profile for the apples.

Why is it important to chill the dough for 10-15 minutes?

Chilling the dough allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to stretch thinly without tearing, and helps the olive oil firm up slightly for better handling.

What is the purpose of sprinkling extra sugar over the top of the galette?

Sprinkling extra sugar before baking adds a beautiful caramelized crust and a touch more sweetness to the finished apple galette.

How to Prepare Apple Galette [Vegan]

Fill a glass with water and ice. Ice water is needed.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl mix the powder with your hands, add oil and mix until thoroughly well integrated. What you have left should resemble sand. There should not be large pieces.
Add the water and begin to mix until a soft dough forms. Form a ball and put in the fridge for about 10-15 min.
Slice apples as thin as possible.
Stretch the dough until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
Sprinkle cinnamon, 1 tablespoon sugar and cloves over the dough. Arrange the apple in rows. Fold the edges of the dough to cover more or less 2 inches from the apple.
If you want, you can sprinkle a little sugar over the top.
Put it in the oven and leave it there until edges are golden.
