  • Crust:
  • 340 g spelt flour
  • 45 ml caster sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 170 g chilled butter cubed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 15 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 5 ml vanilla extract
  • 15 - 30 ml iced water
  • Filling:
  • 50 g ground almonds
  • 50 g light Demerara sugar
  • finely grated zest of 1 orange
  • 4 - 6 6 Pink Lady® apples peeled,cored and thinly sliced
  • egg wash 1 egg lightly beaten
  • Tahini Butterscotch Sauce:
  • 125 ml cream
  • 50 g butter
  • 50 g tahini
  • 75 g sugar
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to mix
  • Add the butter to flour mixture and pulse until the mixture resembles bread crumbs (do not over process)
  • Add the egg yolk, vinegar, vanilla and a teaspoon of the iced water and pulse until the dough just starts to come together.
  • If needed, add a splash more water and pulse until the dough comes together
  • Put the dough on lightly floured surface and gently pat it together
  • Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic and chill for about 2 hours
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and let it warm up a bit to make it easier to roll out
  • Roll the dough into a large rectangle and use a small side plate (about 15cm in diameter) to cut out 6 – 8 disks and place onto 2 baking sheets lined with baking paper
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C
  • Mix the almonds, sugar and zest together and sprinkle onto the rolled out disks leaving a 2cm edge
  • Arrange the apple slices onto the pastry
  • While rotating the tart, fold the border of exposed dough up and inwards, crimping and pushing it up against the fruit.
  • Brush the border with the egg wash
  • Bake for 25 minutes until the crust is well browned
  • Remove from the oven, gently remove from the baking paper and place onto a cooling rack to prevent the bottom of going soggy
  • While the galettes bake make the tahini butterscotch
  • Combine the cream and butter in a small saucepan, and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts
  • Add the tahini, and sugar and whisk until the tahini has dissolved.
  • Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened and shiny
  • Serve the galettes warm, with a spoonful of butterscotch and some vanilla ice cream
