How to Prepare Cream Cheese Apple Galette [Vegan]

To Make the Crust:

In a large bowl, mix together flour, meal, sugar, and sea salt.
Cut in coconut oil with a pastry blender or two knives until it is in pea-sized pieces. Mix in just enough water to create a smooth dough that holds together but isn't too sticky. Add a touch of water if needed, and knead slightly until a smooth dough is created.
Divide into two pieces and shape into rounds (if it is too soft, refrigerate for about 15 minutes to firm it up slightly. You want it pliable, but not super soft or it will be hard to shape).
Roll each out into a 14-inch round using parchment underneath and floured rolling pin. If it tears, no worries, just press it back together and patch it up.

To Make the Cream Cheese:

Whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F. To make filling, mix together all ingredients in a large bowl.
Spread the cream cheese over the crust leaving a 1 1/2 inch border. Arrange the apples over the cream cheese, then carefully fold up edges to cover the edge of the fruit. Brush sprinkle with a little coconut sugar.
Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes (checking after 20 and if they are very brown, if they are tent with foil) until bubbling and fruit is tender. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least an hour.
