Ingredients

Dough

1 cup blanched almond flour
1 cup arrowroot powder
½ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 large egg
½ teaspoon sea salt

Apple Filling

4 large apples
2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
⅛ tsp ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg

Egg wash

1 large egg

Optional

2 tablespoon finely chopped almonds
2 tablespoon pomegranate seeds

Instructions

Make dough: Place almond flour, arrowroot, olive oil, honey, egg and salt into bowl of food processor and process until a crumbly dough forms. Roll into a ball. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350.
Make apple filling: Mix lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, allspice, ginger and nutmeg in a large bowl with a fork or a whisk. Slice apples in half down through the stem. Use a melon baller or spoon to scoop out the core, then place cut side down to make thin slices. Toss apples into the cinnamon mixture until evenly coated.
Roll out dough: Take dough out of fridge and place on a piece of unbleached parchment paper. Sprinkle with a bit of arrowroot powder to prevent rolling pin from sticking. Roll in different directions to create a disc of an even ¼" thickness.
Fill and fold: Spoon apple mixture onto prepared pie dough. Arrange in a circular pattern, leaving a 1" border. Fold edges of crust onto itself and the fruit. The middle will be open to the apple slices.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped nuts and/or pomegranate seeds.
Egg wash: Whisk egg and use pastry brush to glaze the top of the crust that is exposed.
Bake: in preheated 350 oven for 30-35 minutes until apples are soft and crust is golden brown.

Notes

For a Vegan Apple Galette: Substitute egg with flax egg and replace honey with maple syrup.

Apples: Use a mixture of tart and sweet apples. Firmer apples will hold their shape better for a gorgeous galette. See post for details on which apples are best for a galette. Green apples have less calories and carbs than red apples.

Spices: Use 2 teaspoons apple pie spice instead of individual spices for the apple filling.
