Vegan Apple Galette with Brown Sugar and Cinnamon
This vegan apple galette folds flaky pastry around cinnamon-scented apple slices for a simple rustic dessert.
This vegan apple galette folds flaky pastry around cinnamon-scented apple slices for a simple rustic dessert. A little starch thickens the juices without hiding the fruit, and leaving a border makes the pastry easy to fold. Brush the crust with plant milk for color, then let the galette stand before cutting so the filling settles. Heat oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment. Toss apple slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, cornstarch and salt. Roll crust into a 30-cm round on parchment; mound apples in the center, leaving a 5-cm border. Fold pastry edges over the apples, pleating as needed; brush crust with plant milk and sprinkle coarse sugar if using.
