FALL
APPLE GALET TE
A galette is pie’s easygoing friend. Yes, there is pie dough involved,
but mistakes are easily comforted by the fact that galettes are meant
to be rustic. When you serve your friend or loved one a slice of flaky,
buttery, tender apple galette they will be convinced you spent hours to
make something this lovely and delicious.

Measure the flour and salt into a medium-sized bowl.
Stir to combine. Add butter and cream cheese and mix
until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add water, one
tablespoon at a time, and mix until it begins to clump
together and form a dough. Remove the dough from the
bowl, gather it up, and shape it into a thick disk. Cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
