What is the best way to achieve a flaky crust for this galette?

The recipe instructs to pulse spelt flour, sea salt, and sage with cold water and coconut oil in a food processor, blending just enough until combined, then chilling the dough.

How should I prepare the butternut squash and apple for the filling?

Both the butternut squash and red apple should be thinly sliced after the squash skin is removed, then tossed with a drizzle of olive oil and sea salt before layering.

What is the recommended layering order for the galette filling?

First, drizzle olive oil on the crust, then layer the sauteed onions, followed by the butternut squash and apple slices, leaving a 1-inch rim for folding.

How do I know when the Butternut Squash and Apple Galette is fully baked?

Bake the galette for 20-25 minutes at 350 degreesF, or until the spelt flour crust is flaky and the butternut squash is cooked through and tender.

Can I use a different type of apple in this galette?

The recipe specifies a red apple, suggesting a variety that complements the butternut squash and sage well, such as Fuji or Gala, which hold their shape and offer a balanced sweetness.

How to Prepare Butternut Squash and Apple Galette with Sage [Vegan]

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Make the crust by adding the flour, sea salt and sage leaves into the food processor. Slowly add in the coconut oil and water, and pulse frequently as this gently blends into the flour. Pulse only enough until the the ingredients combine together, 30 seconds or so.
Fold the dough into a ball and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
In the meantime, make the filling. In a small pan on medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add in the onions, pinch of salt, one teaspoon of sage leaves, and sauté for about 5 minutes. Set this aside as you roll out your dough into a circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Add a drizzle of olive oil to the center of the crust, layer on the onions evenly in the center and leave about a 1 inch rim from the center of the galette to the edge (this will be the crust that you fold over the veggies).
Mix the squash and apples in a small bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and sea salt. Add the butternut squash and apple slices on top of the onions (just as you see it in the picture).
Gently fold the edges of the crust on top of the outer sides of the squash. Add small chunks of the coconut oil on top of the galette, along with the sage leaves, and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the curst is flaky and the squash is cooked through.
Slice and enjoy!
