Rustic French Apple Galette with Lavender Honey

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour, sifted
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cold, diced
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ice water
• 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons lavender honey

Method

1. 01
   In a large bowl, mix the sifted flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold diced butter and work it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. 02
   Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Shape it into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. 03
   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. 04
   In a medium bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, sugar, and ground cinnamon until well coated.
5. 05
   Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
6. 06
   Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as necessary.
7. 07
   Bake the galette for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
8. 08
   Drizzle the warm galette with lavender honey before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
