Ingredients
  

Vegan Pastry Dough

  • 1¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup vegan butter, cold and cubed
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp ice cold water

Filling

  • 1 large red apple, sliced, with skin
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • ⅛ tsp coarse or flaked sea salt, plus more for topping
  • ½ cup vegan salted caramel sauce, plus for more for topping

Other

  • 1 tbsp non dairy milk, for brushing
  • 1-2 tbsp raw sugar, optional
  • Vegan vanilla ice cream, to serve, optional

Instructions
 

Make the pastry dough

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and sugar. Add in the butter cubes. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut the butter into the dry mix until the texture is like coarse oatmeal. (see picture)

  • Gradually add in the cold water while mixing with a fork. Using your hands, knead the dough into a ball. Form the dough into a thick disk and wrap with plastic film. Refridgerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or make in advance and refrigerate for up to 1 week (see notes at the bottom).

Make the filling

  • Prepare the filling by coating the apple slices with lemon juice. Next, add flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger powder and mix until incorporated. Add the caramel sauce and mix until combined.

Assemble the galette

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Place a large piece of parchment paper on a clean surface.
  • Remove the dough from the refridgerator and place on the parchment paper.
  • Using a large rolling pin, roll the dough into a ~10 inch circle about ½ cm thick. Make sure the thickness of the dough is even.
    continuing to roll out the pastry dough
  • Line the apple slices in the middle of the rolled out dough (see pictures). Fold in the edges carefully.

  • Brush the galette crust with plant milk and sprinkle on some raw sugar.

  • Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the galette onto a baking tray. Trim the parchment paper if necessary.
  • Bake the galette for 30-35mins. The crust should be slightly golden, and the caramel sauce in the filling is lightly bubbling. Remove the galette from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting in.
  • Top your galette with vegan vanilla ice cream (optional), more caramel sauce, a pinch of sea salt, and serve!
