Rustic Apple Galette

It’s hard to go past juicy apples encased in a warm, biscuit crust. Especially when the recipe is grain free, dairy free, and egg free, making it a much better choice than a traditional galette for those with a health symptom or condition. Feel free to stick to the recipe or add some additional fruits of your liking such as peaches, nectarines, or berries. 

Apples have wonderful anti-inflammatory properties and provide significant results for those suffering with autoimmune disorders such as Addison’s disease, Cardiomyopathy, Celiac disease, Lupus, and Multiple Sclerosis. Apples contain pectin which is a gel-like fiber that can prevent the putrefaction of protein in the digestive tract. Pectin works like an intestinal broom to clean and sweep out debris from the colon.

Rustic Apple Galette 

For the crust:

• 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
• 3.5 tbsp water
• 1 1/2 cups almond flour + more for dusting
• 3/4 cup tapioca flour
• 1.5 tbsp coconut sugar
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1-3 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp almond milk (optional)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup to serve (optional)

For the filling:

• 3 red apples, cored and thinly sliced
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp cardamom
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar

Directions:

Make the flax egg by mixing together the ground flaxseeds and water. Set aside.

In a food processor or bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar and sea salt. Process until combined. Add the coconut oil and flax egg and mix again, adding in the water bit by bit until the dough comes together. You may not need all of it. If you’re mixing in a bowl, use your hands to bring the dough together at the end. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. 

Preheat oven to 350F. Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and dust lightly with almond flour. Roll the dough into a 3-5 mm thick circle and place the filling in the middle, leaving 2-inches around the edge empty. Gently fold the sides up, creasing the dough as you go. You can use the parchment paper if needed so it doesn’t break. Brush the dough with almond milk and bake for 35-45 minutes, until browned. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting. Drizzle with maple syrup if needed. 

Serves: 4-6
