Ingredients – serves 8

For the dough:

• 225 g soft butter, at room temperature
• 50 g sugar
• 2 eggs
• 350 g flour

For the filling:

• 4 small apples
• 100 g of sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons flour

Method

Make the dough:

• Mix the butter and sugar in a large bowl until just combined.
• Add 1 egg and 1 yolk (keep the egg white for later) and beat for 2 minutes until the mixture looks a bit like scrambled eggs.
• Mix the flour quickly under the egg mixture until it crumbles, combine into a ball, wrap it in cling film and put in the fridge for 45 minutes.

Make the filling:

• Mix the sugar, cinnamon and flour in a large bowl.
• Cut the apples into thin slices, put them in the bowl with the sugar mixture and shake until the apple slices are covered on all sides with a layer of the sugar mixture.

Make the galette:

• Heat the oven to 190C / 170C fan / gas 5, cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut off ¼ of the dough and roll the rest into a circle with a diameter of about 28 cm and place on the baking sheet.
• Arrange the apple slices in several layers on the dough but leave a 4 cm border, then fold this edge inwards.
• Roll out the reserved dough, use a cookie cutter to cut out the dough and decorate the folded edge of the galette.
• Brush the dough with beaten egg white and bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven.
