Did you know that food photography can bring out hidden baker skills ? 😉 I kid you not ! I am not one for the patience required for lattice pies , rosettes and leaves. I love it immensely but oooh when it comes to doing it myself, it’s major intimidation.

So there I was, a whole bushel of organic apples with Uttarakand and well on my way to make our favourite apple crumble when it occurred to me that it had been awhile since a sweet galette saw the inside of my oven. As much as I love tried and tested recipes, for dishes like cookies, cake and pies I am always experimenting with new ones. This galette recipe is from Sally’s baking addiction. I will link to her website at the bottom. After the dough was made and chilled , it was around the rolling out point that I realised that the quiet around me gave me the perfect therapeutic time to get lost in a bit of lattice work…the young ones were cloistered away with friends (trading secrets and giggles), I was certain there was no need for “ma” for this or that !!!

I concentrated hard just so I could take the kind of pie pictures I wanted  😀

As you can see the lattice could be finer, prettier and not so rustic (lol) but it tasted great and baked to golden yumminess. That’s the reason I am sharing this recipe.

Free range eggs from Farm Made foods

Ingredients

  • Emmer wheat flour- 1 1/2 C
  • Organic natural granulated sugar- 1/4 C + 1 Tbsp
  • Natural sea/rock salt -a few grains
  • Cold butter- 1/2 C
  • Cold water- 1/4 C
  • Indian apples- 4-5 peeled and cored and put in lemon water to prevent discolouration
  • Dark brown sugar-1/2 C
  • emmer wheat flour-2 Tbsp
  • Cinnamon powder- 1 1/2 tsp + 1 tsp
  • Egg-1 well beaten with a little milk + 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Take a wide mixing bowl, add in the emmer flour, 1/4 c sugar, 1/4 tsp salt and give it a good whisk. Cut the cold butter into small squares and rub it into the flour until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the cold water and just mix/stir. Knead it lightly on a floured work surface until it comes together.
  2. Make a dough ball, flatten it slightly and refrigerate for anywhere from 1 hour- a couple of days.
  3. To make the lemon water, simply fill a medium sized bowl with water and add the juice of half an Indian lime or lemon. As you core and peel the apples, add the slices into the lemon water
  4. Grease and Line a pie dish with baking parchment.Pre- Heat the oven to 180 degrees C
  5. Take out the dough and roll it out on a floured surface so that it doesn't stick. Dust flour to the rolling pin too.
  6. Roll out the dough to medium thickness and use the rolling pin to lift the rolled out dough onto the pin. Then place the rolling pin over the pie dish and turn out the dough using the rolling pin.
  7. Pull and tuck the dough in place and cut off the overhang and reserve it if making a lattice or any design.
  8. Drain the apple slices and add it to a large mixing bowl with the 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder,1/2 C dark sugar, 2 Tbsps emmer flour and give it a good mix.
  9. Brush the base of the pie with a little of the egg wash using a silicon brush
  10. Arrange the apple slices in a pattern of your choice.
  11. Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into even strips (vertical) lengthwise. Start by placing the longest strip in the middle. Repeat with the strips. While placing the horizontal strips ,it can be done in basket weave pattern by lifting the vertical strips alternatively and tucking the horizontal strips in between.
  12. Have fun with this...make your own pattern, there's nothing stopping you
  13. Alternatively It can also be rolled out like a a sheet and just draped over the top. (If doing so )Make sure to make a few slits for the heat to escape
  14. Brush the top with the remaining egg wash. Sprinkle evenly with 1 Tbsp of granulated sugar
  15. Bake until golden brown. Serve with a salted caramel sauce
  16. Recipe for a simple salted caramel sauce 1 C dark brown sugar, 1/4 C butter, 2 Tbsps water, a few grains of rock salt, add it to a saucepan and let it simmer gently while stirring continuously. Take it off the fire as it thickens and allow it to cool.
