Name: Mini Apple Galette for One
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 50 min
Ingredients: 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon granulated sugar; ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt; 2 tablespoons cold salted butter; 2 teaspoons ice water; 1 medium apple; ½ teaspoon honey; 1½ teaspoons granulated sugar plus ¼ teaspoon to finish; ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 pinch ground nutmeg; ½ tablespoon cold salted butter (cut in small pieces); 1 beaten egg (for brushing crust)

Directions

For the pastry, mix the flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and salt. Cut in the 2 tablespoons of cold butter until it looks grainy. Sprinkle in the ice water and stir until a dough forms.
Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Near the end of that time, heat the oven to 400°F.
Roll the cold dough between two sheets of parchment into a circle about 6 inches across and ⅛ inch thick. Slide it, on its bottom sheet of parchment, onto a rimmed baking sheet.
Peel and core the apple, then slice or dice it. Arrange it on the dough, leaving a 1-inch border, and drizzle with the honey.
Mix 1½ teaspoons of sugar with the cinnamon and nutmeg and sprinkle it over the apples. Dot with the ½ tablespoon of cold butter.
Fold the edges of the dough up over the outer apples, leaving the center open. Brush the dough with beaten egg (you won’t need all of it) and sprinkle with the last ¼ teaspoon of sugar.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.

Notes

Makes one galette, enough for one or two people.
